Unhappy ESP BAS Light stays on and Instrument Cluster Malfunction

I have an' 06 Charger, Was driving a few days ago and the ESP BAS warning light came on. Kept driving for awhile, when the Instrument Cluster started to malfunction ( all the warning lights went on and off and the gauges where going crazy) after about 10 seconds the cluster went back to normal but the ESP light was still showing. Luckily I was close to home and parked the car for the night. Started the car the next day and the ESP BAS light was off, but that only lasted for about 20 minutes before the car did the exact same thing. Over the last few days I have tried to reset the instrument cluster and reset the alignment ( turning wheel all the way to the left, then right, then straight) which has worked for anywhere form 10-25 minutes. The car seems to drive fine even while the warning lights on ( sometimes the engine light comes on also) but sometimes seems odd driving when the instrument cluster malfunctions. Would appreciate any help or ideas. Have an appointment with Dodge, but the local dealer is not the best to deal with!!

Dealer is probably your best bet. I could be any one of the numerous modules flaking out. Thy have the diagnostic tools to troubleshoot.

Do you have to be moving when it happens?
