| Description of the problem | The van completely shut down while i was in the middle of making a u turn. The engine, the electrical just stopped working and the steering wheel got really tight but i was able to glide to the side of the road. I turned the key to the off position put the van in park and then i was able to restart it. I took it to dodge and they repaired the power steering saying that was the problem. Not so, this has happened 3 times since the first and nothing has been done to repair the problem. Today is 8/29/2014 and i am stranded because it won't turn on at all. Waiting for aaa. |
