seatbelt light quit working after etc/mil/eac failures

I've complained here as well -- it might be under Engine issues - but today was the second time which was more serious as not only the ETC light came on , but the MIL light and then the EAC light. After stalling and restarting and plugging my way home -- while at a stop light , foot on brake on a hill, the car seemed to RPM very highly and seemed to want to accelerate (while a pedestrian crossed in front of me at the light). At that time -- or around that time -- all the idiot lights came on -- on the instrument panel. The car was super high gear while sitting with brake on pedal. It then dwindled down to the previous 3 lights. Later when I made it home after several stalls, I went out to start it .

The MIL light lights first, and although it's suppose to warn me about seat-belts that has stopped. Then the ETC light comes on after about 1 minute or so, and the EAC which stays on. No point in trying to move it.. I'm looking for an attorney. 87,000 miles on it. I've never had a car do this ever! So dangerous! THE SEATBELT LIGHT? This has got to be electrical. Chrysler has never fixed their JEEP problems -- this is a repeated issue with all of their JEEPS . I want my money back and my life.
