2003 Chrysler Town And Country lighting problems

We purchased a new vehicle assuming that the lights would be at least the same as previous vehicles. Upon taking the van home and driving it at night. We noted that the dash and door switch lights weren't functioning. We went back to the dealership and looked at another van (assuming that it was a 2003) on which the lights did work. We took the van in to the service personnel to have the lights repaired, but they told us that these lights were no longer functional on the 2003 vans.

Started vehicle, and headlights and taillights began flashing. Headlight switch did not affect this. Turning off ignition did not stop problem. Only disconnecting battery stopped flashing. This would be an extremely dangerous situation if driver was moving at night. This needs to be a recall, as many similar problems exist and chrysler know about hem, see topix.com.
