This happened twice before and it was the alternator. I would be driving down the hwy and all of a sudden my battery gauge and speedometer needle goes crazy and then my car just dies. Last two times it was the alternator and everytime it happens I can start it back up and drive another 10 mins. or so till it happens again. One place told me that was because my battery was overcharged I was able to restart it.

When it dies I do notice slight dim on my flashers....

Defintley check the alternater output. Also check the battery to make sure it is good. Batteries on average go about 5 years, the chysler ones seem to get more life out of them, but it may be time.
