| Description of the problem | The mini van engine unexpectedly shut off while driving at a steady speed of 45 mph. I pulled over and restarted the engine and continued on normally. This was a dangerous condition since i lost brake and steering assist. I was almost rear ended by traffic behind me. There is a 2010 dodge ignition recall that exactly describes my incident. However the recall only covers minivans built before june 17, 2010. My vehicle was built on november 8, 2010. I believe this recall should be expanded to all grand caravans built in 2010. |
