| Description of the problem | I have a 2007 dodge grand caravan. While not a gm vehicle, i have experience the same issue with the ignition as has been reported on the gm vehicles. I have had seven incidents. The issues involves vehicle losing all power. All gauges will drop to zero and steering will be lost. I have had to switch the vehicle over to neutral and pull over to the side of the road. Upon shutting off the vehicle and restarting, the vehicle starts fine. After hearing about the gm recall, i took all excess keys off of my key chain. I have not encountered the problem since. However, this is very concerning to me. At one time, i was turning around a circular monument and almost could not make it to the side of the road in neutral. I fear that this ignition issue is affecting more vehicles than just gms. |
