Exclamation 01 Dodge Grand Caravan Dangerous Problem!

My 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan has become dangerous to drive. I can be driving along and all of a sudden it looses power, headlights, radio, electric windows etc... the only way I can get it to stop is to hit a large pothole.
Does anyone know what is causing this? Its inermittent but happens several times a day. I hate taking the kids in it because I am scared to death it will cause a wreck!
I really love my caravan otherwise PLEASE HELP!

Also, what does BCM & PCM mean?

BCM= Body Control Module
PCM= Powertrain Control Module
TCM= Transmission Control Module
basically these are the computers that control and monitor systems
