| Description of the problem | At 65 mph on a smooth 4 lane highway with cruize control on all electrical , including the dash instrumentation,suddenly went out and van began slowing down; then the dash idiot lights flickered for a milli-second and power returned with the van /engine running; then after a few hundred yards, it repeated the failure and stayed on. The next day i had the dealer replace the battery; they had never heard of such a problem but i found many similar ones in an inter-net search of "car problems". I no longer can trust the vehicle. It sounds just like the problem with the electrical/ignition reported this month in some gm products. Very dangerous!! |
