2010 Dodge Grand Caravan Complaint Log

CAR STALLS OUT OF NOWHERE AND I LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AFTER IT'S STALLED. I HAVE NEARLY GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT TWICE BUT IT HAS STALLED MORE THAN THAT. IT WAS IN MOTION FROM SPEEDS OF 25-40 MPH ON CITY STREETS. TWICE ON A TURN AND 6 TIMES GOING STRAIGHT.

THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 15 TIMES OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS. WHILE DRIVING, USUALLY AT SLOWER SPEEDS BUT ONCE ON THE FREEWAY AND A FEW TIMES AT ABOUT 45 MPH, THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF -- ENGINE, POWER STEERING, BRAKES -- EVERYTHING. IT IS A MIRACLE IT HASN'T KILLED US YET. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY CAN NOT REPLICATE IT OR FIND ANY CODE THAT IS THE PROBLEM. IT IS NOT THE IGNITION RECALL AS WE HAVE HAD THAT FIXED. DURING MY RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND DRIVE NORMALLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE DEALER (LAKELAND CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM, 31 HADLEY RD, GREENVILLE, PA 16125) STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V373000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000.

VAN WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, STARTED WASHING THE BACK DRIVERS SIDE TIRE RIM ON THE VAN AND THE VALVE STEM POPPED OFF AND THE TIRE COMPLETELY DEFLATED FROM JUST BARELY TOUCHING IT WITH A RAG!! SECOND TIRE THAT HAS DONE THIS. TWO WEEKS AGO ANOTHER TIRE WAS LOW ON AIR, STOPPED AT A GAS STATION TO FILL IT UP WITH AIR AND THE VALVE STEM BROKE OFF AS SOON AS HE TRIED TO FILL IT AND COMPLETELY DEFLATED. WE HAD TO PUT A RUBBER VALVE STEM INTO THAT TIRE. THIS IS OUR FAMILY VEHICLE WITH A 9, 6, AND 5 YEAR OLD RIDING IN THIS CAR. IF THE VALVE STEM BROKE THAT EASILY IT COULD'VE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND WE COULD'VE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE MY CHILDREN COULD'VE GOTTEN HURT!

THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) IS EITHER DEFECTIVE, OR DAMAGED FROM WEATHER EXPOSURE. SPARATIC POWER ISSUES ARE PRESENT CAUSING ODD THINGS TO GO WRONG, FROM THE BATTERY BEING DRAINED, TO BACKLIGHT FLICKERING ON THE DASH, TO UPON EXITING THE VEHICLE ATTEMPTING TO LOCK VEHICLE TO ONLY HAVE IT UNLOCK AGAIN, TO ALSO UPON LOCKING, HAVING THE FRONT WINDOWS RANDOMLY GO DOWN.

VEHICLE IS STALLING OUT WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE NOTICED IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE VANS FROM DODGE AND CHRYSLER. IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, IT STALLS IN TRAFFIC AT IDLE OR WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. WHEN IT STALLS SOMETIMES IT WILL ACTIVATEE THE ESP LIGHT AND SET OFF MULTIPLE OBD2 CODES, ORBIT WILL STALL AND NOT SET OFF ANY LIGHTS.

WHILE DRIVING AND OR COMING TO A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT THE BRAKE LIGHT ,THE SLIPPERY ROAD ICON,SPEEDOMETER JUMPS ONLY NO ACCELERATION,JUST JUMPS OTHER ICON LIGHTS AS WELL APPEAR ON DASH,OFTEN IT STALLS AT LIGHT AND IS DIFFICULT TO RESTART TYING UP TRAFFIC ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED A STALL ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE I CAN LOOSED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY SAFELY,I WAS TOLD THAT THE COMPUTER SHOWS A FAULTY BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH SENSOR ,I DID REPLACE IT YESTERDAY,9/29/17 WITH A FACTORY DUPLICATE BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. I'M CONCERNED SO IF YOU CAN HELP PLEASE LET ME KNOW. [XXX] THANKS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE OWNED MY DODGE CARAVAN SINCE APRIL 2016 AND HAVE NEEDED 3 EXTENSIVE BRAKE JOBS TOTALING OVER $3,000 WHICH INCLUDED NEW PADS, ROTORS AND CALIPERS. I HAVE READ ON OTHER SIGHTS I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM WITH THE SAME VEHICLE. I AM ABOUT TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR THE FORTH TIME AND AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS PROBLEM. I DRIVE MY FOUR CHILDREN AROUND IN THIS VEHICLE AND NEED IT TO BE SAFE. THAT IS WHY I ORIGINALLY BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE. NO BRAKES ARE NOT SAFE.

AFTER DRIVING WITH VEHICLE IN PARK, TURN KEY OFF AND ENGINE KEEPS RUNNING AS SMOOTH AS NORMAL RUNNING, PULL FOBIK KEY OUT AND MOVE IT 50 FT AWAY AND VEHICLE KEEPS RUNNING.

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE IN MOTION WHEN I HIT A BUMP. IT HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED. I HAVE HAD TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE IN ORDER TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS VERY PROBLEM WAS RECALLED IN VEHICLES MANUFACTURED THROUGH MAY 2010, BUT MY VEHICLE IS OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL, AS IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN SEPTEMBER 2010. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

BEGINNING SEPTEMBER 2017 TO DECEMBER 2017 (PRESENT): MULTIPLE ISSUES RELATED TO ELECTRICAL: (1) ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH (CITY STREET, DRIVING STRAIGHT), AND LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES; (2) ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON FROM SEPTEMBER 2017 TO DECEMBER 2017 (PRESENT). LIGHT OFTEN COMES ON WHEN POWER WINDOW BUTTONS ARE PRESSED; BATTERY HAS BEEN CHECKED; ALTERNATOR HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE (!) IN DECEMBER 2017 AND WARNING LIGHT STILL COMES ON; (3) WINDOWS ROLL THEMSELVES DOWN WHEN VEHICLE IS NOT RUNNING; THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN WINTER AND COLD WEATHER, THERE IS NO CHANCE THE WINDOW WAS LEFT DOWN BY THE DRIVER; (4) HEAD AND TAIL LIGHTS BLINK WHEN VEHICLE IS NOT RUNNING; (5) REAR SEAT POWER OUTLET NOT WORKING; (6) REAR DEFROSTER NOT WORKING; (7) SIDE MIRROR DEFROSTERS NOT WORKING. RESEARCH INTO OTHERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS SUGGEST DEFECTIVE TIPM.

VEHICLE NOT STARTING RANDOMLY. WHEN YOU TRY TO START IT JUST CLICKS ONCE AND WON'T TURN OVER. AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT WILL START. I HAVE FOUND 1,000'S OF REPORTS OF THE SAME ISSUE FOR THIS SAME MAKE MODEL AND YEAR. PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE.

NOW, IN ADDITION TO STALLING AT ANY TIME AND ANY SPEED, AT TIMES THE VAN WILL NOT START (WONT EVEN TURN OVER) AND THE WINDOWS INTERMITTENTLY WORK. CLEARLY IT'S A TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) ISSUE. FOLKS, CHECK OUT HOW INCOMPETENT THE NHTSA IS, GO TO HTTP://WWW.CHRYSLERPROBLEMS.COM/TRENDS/TIPM/ SO MANY TIPM ISSUES THAT THE NHTSA REFUSES TO ADDRESS UNTIL SOME OF US DIE.

THE KEY WILL RANDOMLY SWITCH FROM START TO THE OFF POSITION WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT WILL DO IT AT ANY RATE OF SPEED AND ON BACK ROADS OR THE HIGHWAY. IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE!!!THIS MODEL VAN SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL #14V373000. BUT I WAS INFORMED DUE TO IT'S "MANUFACTURE DATE" THE VEHICLE IS FINE. I CAN TELL YOU, IT IS NOT FINE.

AFTER STARTING MY VAN, I WILL TURN ON MY HEADLIGHTS AND THEY WILL FLICKER ON AND THEN OFF REALLY QUICK. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY. I WILL WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND TRY AGAIN AND THE SAME THING WILL HAPPEN. I CAN FLIP THE HIGH BEAMS ON AND THEY WILL FLICKER ON AND THEN RIGHT OFF. HOWEVER, THE FOG LIGHTS WILL COME ON. I CAN USUALLY SIT AND WAIT ABOUT 10 TO 15 MINUTES AND THE LIGHTS WILL USUALLY COME ON.

WE HAVE A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SXT WITH 133,000 MILES AND SINCE THE DAY WE GOT IT BACK IN JULY ALL IT HAS DONE WHILE DRIVING IS SHUT DOWN/SHUT ITSELF OFF. LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD WILL COME ON, FLASH AND VAN WILL JUST SHUT DOWN. KEY REFUSES TO COME OUT AT TIMES, HAVE NO HAZARD LIGHTS WHEN THIS HAPPENS, AND IT CAN TAKE ANYWHERE FROM 5-30 MINUTES FOR THE VAN TO EVEN START AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS ON THE INTERSTATE AND IN THE CITY, DOESNT MATTER REALLY WHERE WE ARE, EVEN AT STOP LIGHTS/STOP SIGNS

2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN 108000 MILES. AT TIME OF THIS COMPLAINT, WE HAVE OWNED VEHICLE FOR ONLY TWO MONTHS. FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND NO WARNING; ENGINE WILL STALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH AT A STOP SIGN AND ROUNDING A CURVE AT 30 MPH. NO ENGINE - NO POWER STEERING. HOPING THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY. ENGINE ALSO HAS A 'SURGE' TO IT AT AROUND 40 MPH; NOT SURE IF THE TWO ARE RELATED.

WILL NOT START, ,DIES FROM TIME TO TIME

MY 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN BEGAN HAVING ISSUES ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. THE ABS LIGHT WOULD LIGHT UP AND BEEP ON AND OFF AND WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM WITHOUT IT OCCURING AT THAT TIME. AS MONTHS WENT ON THE PROBLEM BECAME WORSE. ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS BEGAN TURNING ON AND OFF HEADLIGHTS WOULD DIMMER, CLOCK AND RADIO WOULD SHUT OFF. TOOK TO A FEW MECHANICS AND NONE COULD DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE BATTERY LIGHT BEGAN STAYING LIT. WE THEN REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THE BATTERY CABLES. THE PROBLEMS PERSISTED, WE TOOK TO ANOTHER MECHANIC WHO STATED THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND THE VEHICLE WAS FINE FOR THREE WEEKS, THEN THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN ALL THE LIGHTS LIT UP, THE AIR WENT IN AND OUT, THE RADIO SHUT OFF AND OUT OF NOWHERE THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE ABOUT TO TURN AT AN INTERSECTION WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VAN. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO MANY DIFFERENT MECHANICS EVEN THE DEALERSHIP AND NONE OF THEM CAN DETERMINE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE. THROUGH THE INTERNET I SEE THAT WE ARE NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BESIDES ATTEMPT TO GET RID OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE VEHICLE I BOUGHT TO TRANSPORT MY CHILDREN; I'VE BEEN PAYING FOR RENTAL CARS BECAUSE I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT. WITH AS MANY COMPLAINTS AS I'VE SEEN FOR THIS ISSUE YOU WOULD THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY HURT OR DEAD IF THEY DON'T DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

AS I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. I COULD NOT STEER THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO BRAKE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT TWICE, WITH NO EFFECT. I WAS ABLE TO MUSCLE IT INTO THE PARKING SPACE. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RAN AN ERRAND. WHEN I RETURNED AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING HAD STARTED WORKING AGAIN. I CHECKED THE POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL, WHICH IS FINE. THE PROBLEM SEEMED ELECTRICAL. I HAVE NOT YET HAD A REOCCURENCE OF THIS PROBLEM. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE IMPACT THIS WOULD HAVE IF IT OCCURRED WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHER SPEEDS.

PROBLEM WITH KEY FOB AND IGNITION SWITCH. VAN DOES NOT SHUT OFF WHEN KEY FOB TURNED TO OFF POSITION AND REMOVED. TURNED OFF AND REMOVED KEY FOB AND WAS ABLE TO PUT VAN IN GEAR AND DRIVE

THE KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITION NOTHING WORKS AND IT IS STAYING "ON" WHEN KEY IS IN IGNITION KILLING THE BATTERY EVEN THOUGH NOTHING IS NOW WORKING. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS FOR 2010 DODGE VAN BUT MY VIN NUMBER DIDN'T SHOW UP. I FIND IT VERY STRANGE WHEN DOING RESEARCH THAT THIS IS THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AS THE ONES ON RECALL.

SORRY IF THIS IS A DUPLICATE I WAS KICKED OUT BEFORE I FINISHED. WHILE DRIVING ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPPED. POWER STEERING LOST, CAR ROLLED TO STOP AND WAS RESTARTED AND THEN DRIVEN WITHOUT PROBLEM. WHEN CHECKED WE WERE TOLD IT WAS AN IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM. NHTSA RECALL BULLETIN #14V373000 NOTED THIS PROBLEM BUT THIS INDIVIDUAL VEHICLE AND PROBABLY OTHERS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. PLEASE CHECK.

WHILE OPERATING VEHICLE THE ENGINE QUITS RUNNING AND THE VEHICLE BECOMES HARD TO HANDLE AS POWER STEERING AND BRAKES BECOME STIFF. THE ONLY CODE THAT COMES UP IS AN ABS FAILURE. STARTED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO WITH AN OCCASIONAL HAPPENING NOW IT HAS HAPPENED UP TO 3 TIMES PER DAY. SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT SLOWER SPEEDS WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

BOUGHT VEHICLE USED FROM KIA DEALERSHIP AUGUST 2016. MARCH 2017 I STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH HEADLIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY SHUTTING OFF EITHER BEFORE STARTUP (WHILE PARKED AND IGNITION OFF) OR DURING OPERATION (WHILE DRIVING). ALL OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS SEEMED FINE INCLUDING AMBER RUNNING LIGHTS, TAIL-LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, AND BRAKE LIGHTS. TOOK VEHICLE TO MECHANIC JULY 2017, NO ISSUES WERE FOUND. NO PROBLEMS FOR 2 WEEKS, THEN STARTED EXPERIENCING SAME PROBLEM. NO RECALLS OR SOLUTIONS FOUND AT THIS TIME.

DRIVING AT 10-20 MPH, WARNING LIGHTS ESP ABR AND TRACING ICON FLASH ON AND OFF BEFORE ENGINE STALLS, HAPPENS WHETHER TURNING, OR DRIVING STRAIGHT. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILS INCLUDING POWER STEERING, RADIO FLASHES OFF, CLOCK GOES TO 12:00. OFTEN AT SPEEDS 35 -65 MPH, SAME LIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF 10 TO 15 TIMES IN VARIOUS DISTANCES OF 3 MILES - 25 MILES BEFORE STALLING, DRIVING DOWN A WINDING, MOUNTAIN ROAD IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT NIGHT AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 60-70MPH, SAME LIGHTS FLASHED ON AND OFF, THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE INSTANTLY DROPPED DOWN TO ZERO THEN QUICKLY FLIPPED UP TO CURRENT SPEED EACH TIME LIGHTS FLASHED, THEN THEY STAYED ON WHILE I PULLED OFF THE ROAD, IT STALLED IN PARK POSITION. STARTS UP AGAIN WITHOUT HESITATION. ONCE I WENT 3 MILES WITHOUT INCIDENT, UPON RETURNING WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, SAME WARNING LIGHTS FLASHED, WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, ENGINE STALLED. I RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND I WAS ABLE TO PROCEED THROUGH THE GREEN LIGHT MAKING A LEFT TURN, NO OTHER STALL THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. REGARDLESS IF I'M TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT, GOING UP HILL OR DOWN HILL OR ON CITY STREET, WHETHER THE ENGINE IS COLD OR HOT OR TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE IS HOT, COLD, OR RAINING. IT IS RANDOM, HAVING PURCHASED THIS USED VEHICLE ONLY 4 MONTHS AGO, DRIVEN LESS THAN 1000 MILES, I DON'T FEEL SAFE AS A FEMALE SENIOR CITIZEN TRAVELING ALONE ANY DISTANCE IN THIS VEHICLE, PREVIOUS OWNER HAD THE DEALER REPLACE FUEL PUMP AND COMPUTER (TWICE). I HAVE REPLACED THE 1 YEAR OLD BATTERY DUE TO A HOT TO THE TOUCH CABLE TO THE BATTERY, NOT GENERATING THE PROPER AMOUNT OF POWER, ALSO REPLACED THE ORIGINAL COMPUTER WITH A NEW COMPUTER WHICH DID NOT RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WERE TOLD A WIN OR TIPM MODULE WOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM WHICH IT DIDN'T. 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN RECALL: IGNITION REPLACEMENT. THE IGNITION MOVES BETWEEN 'ACCESSORIES AND ON' CAUSING ENGINE TO STALL.

I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A DARK COUNTRY ROAD AND MY HEADLIGHTS WENT COMPLETELY OFF. I REACHED FOR THE CONTROL, TURNED IT OFF THEN ON, THE LIGHTS BLINKED THEN WENT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE FOG LIGHTS ON. THE NEXT DAY THEY NECT DAY THEY WORKED. A FEW WEEKS LATER, THE LIGTS WENT OUT AGAIN WHILE DRIVING DOWN AN INTERSTATE HIGWAY @70MPH. IT HAS RECOVERED MULTIPLE TIMES.

REAR BRAKES WEAR OUT INCREDIBLY FAST. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE CALIPER NOT RELEASING, WHICH SEEMS TO BE CAUSING THE REAR BRAKE WEAR.

MY KEY JUST TURNED TO THE ACC POSTION WHILE I WAS DRIVING LOST MY POWER STEARING AND BRAKES. IT HAPPENED TWICE NOW FIRST TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A FLUKE BUT WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND A CAR HIT INTO THE BACK OFF ME I KNEW SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 25MPH THERE IS ABOUT 85000 MILES ON THE VAN. I ONLY OWN IT FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS.I GOOGLE IT TO SEE WHAT IT CAN BE TO FIND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS SAME ISSUE FOR THAT YEAR,MAKE AND MODEL OF MY VAN. WHEN I CALLED THEY SAID MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL. SO HOW IS IT THAT FOR THE SAME YEAR SAME PROBLEM IT'S NOT COVERED. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR THAT KEY WOULD JUST SLIP BACK AND JUST SHUT DOWN MY CAR WHILE DRIVING. I DEFENTLY THINK THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO AND IF I WAS ON A INTERSTATE WHEN IT HAPPENED I WOULD OF BEEN KILLED. I AM NOW AFRAID TO EVEN DRIVE THE CAR. NO CODES CAME ON OR NOTHING IT WAS RUNNING PERFECTLY AND THE KEY JUST WENT BACK TO THE ACC SPOT IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP.

VEHICLE HESITATED WHILE ACCELERATING, JERKING FEELING IN THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING, CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT ALWAYS ENGAGE, FLASHING IF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. NOW, CAR WON'T START AT ALL.

MY VAN STALLS WHILE DRIVING! IT HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES NOW IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS. YOU WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU HAVE NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BREAKS. II STILL HAVE LIGHTS, RADIO AND HEAT. I PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SWITCH THE KEY OF AND START THE VAN BACK UP AND IT RUNS.
