| Description of the problem | the dodge grand caravan dies while driving down the highway. It has happened twice. I'm bringing it in to a dodge dealer in vegas in a couple of weeks. I've been told the error code in the computer system will zero out once the car has been started three times after this problem occurs so there is nothing for the dealer to look at. I'll take it in anyway because maybe they have run into this before. It almost has to be a computer problem i believe. In my case 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 and restart the car. 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 a new computer chip or chips if they really can't figure it out since that is the most probable cause. |
