Does the car stall in any way before stuff starts flickering? Or is it running fine and then the flickering starts?
I'm just guessing here, but if it is 1) stall, then 2) flicker I might suspect the CPS is starting to fail. Lots of write-ups on this issue.
That's just my problem, I've had it to an independent mechanic and a Chrysler mechanic, both checked the grounding and it's all immaculate they said.
It starts with flickering and then I have issues after that.
I haven't had it stall out in "W" yet, however when I switch from "W" to "S" at say a light (I've only tried this once btw) it stalled out immediately, as soon as it tried to go back to first gear. It does occasionally flicker while in "W" and even driving slowly, if I put the windows up (say I had them down) the radio sometimes turns off while the windows are going up and then comes back on once I let go of the button.
