| Description of the problem | My dodge grand caravan died while driving down the highway. It has happened twice. My local dealer say there is nothing for the dealer to look at. In both cases this problem occurred right after i accelerated on the interstate to pass a car. Everything goes dead just like i turned the car off. I put the van into neutral while it is going. Pulled to side of highway to restart van. Never heard of this before. It may be important to get on the record because this could be a dangerous situation depending on where and when it happens. If it results in an accident i'll file legal action. Dodge should know they have a problem and provide fix it. Before someone is killed. |
