| Description of the problem | My van has repeatedly stopped while driving, approximately 10 times from november 2014 to january 2, 2014. I lose all power steering and brakes without warning and have to carefully get myself to the side of the road. This is a very dangerous situation and scares me especially when my family is in the van with me. In all instances i have been lucky and have only been going 20-40 mph and has been in places that i'm able to get over easily. The next time i may not be so lucky. When i get pull over i put the van in park, turn the key to off and restart with no problems. I had the van in the dealership for an entire day with no luck. They took it out several times and could not get it to recur. They did some updating on the computer system. They checked all kinds of things out and everything was coming back alright. They also could not see any codes that there was a problem. I did not have it occur again for almost 2 weeks in the shop so i thought maybe it worked, however on jan. 2, 2014, it occurred again. This problem really concerns me especially after recently reading how often this has happened to other people with the same vehicle. |
