| Description of the problem | My van stalls when decelerating from highway speed to off ramp yield. I have taken to mechanics and dealer and spent too much money on not getting the problem fixed. I did some researched and noticed on the forums that this is an existing problem that has not resulting in a vehicle recall . The problem looks like it has to do with the tipm fuel relay. My van only has 142,000 miles on it , this is obviously a safety issue and should be handled by the auto maker, not having customers spend needless money on dealer recommended fixes that do not fix the problem. I just spent over 700 to have dealer recommended repairs of throttle body service and tune up and this did not resolve the issue. Why is it that as a consumer i need to do my own diagnosis when problem happened just this past weekend after dealer recommended solutions did not fix the problem! Now my son is leaving in 3 days for school with the vehicle and i need to find a repair shop to try to fix the problem instead of you as the car company taking responsibility for a known issue. |
