I just got a new Dodge Charger back in December. The VDC, brake and ABS lights occasionally come on. They stay on steadily, until they decide to turn off. It's all pretty random. I'd take it to the dealer but by the time I could get there, it'd go back to normal so I don't want to make the trip just to be told nothing is wrong. Anyone have any suggestions?

I would take it to the dealer, even if the light is off at the time. Most systems are monitored by the computer, and they could place an error code in the memory. A code reader is needed to see what those codes are, if present. I had one of my vehicles turn on it's check engine light for a couple of minutes and then it went off, it also repeated this behavior at random times. I have code readers so I was able to see an error for the O2 sensor. I replaced that and never saw the issue again. Also this may be a common issue in that type of car, so the dealer may know of it, and know how to correct the problem.
