While driving down the road my battery, airbags, traction, ABS, and seatbelt lights were going on and off. Also my Rpms would go up and my engine would rev up like it was in neutral while going down the road. Has anyone else had this problem?

I haven’t had that problem, but if I did I would drive **directly** to a competent mechanic’s shop to have the alternator’s output checked before the alternator totally dies. Those random symptoms can be characteristic of a failing alternator.

There may be a problem with the Body Control Module.

Yes, that is another possibility.
