Flashing dash lights
Weirdest thing happened while I was driving today. All of a sudden the Airbag, ABS, Parking Brake, TPMS, and several other lights started flashing and then lit up. The car appeared to drive find and I didn't hear any weird noises. The check engine did not come on either. Shutting off the engine too care of it. It happened twice and then it was fine for a 200 mile drive. Quite odd. 'm not really sure on what to search for either. Has anyone else experienced this? Or any ideas.

Whacky!! You may want to call your dealer and have them check it out!! Just to be safe.
PM snap-on and see if he knows what this could have been!!
Good luck.

Something similar happened twice in my old Eagle Talon.. dash lights would all flicker on and off for no reason..
However in both of my cases, the car just died about 2-5 minutes later..
The culprit in both cases was the alternator dying.. (Damn Mitsubishi never put a shield over the Alt, and it was right below a known oil leakage point ).
The fact that your car had no problems after that makes me think that perhaps it was nothing more than either a loose fuse/wire.. or perhaps a belt slipping on the alt giving a false reading...
Either way.. definatly dealer time.
Good luck
