| Description of the problem | I was driving approximately 50 mph on a city street when my engine shut off. I lost all engine power; tank went to empty and it was incredibly hard to turn the steering wheel as well as brake. The best i could, i pulled over, put the van in park and restarted it. I drove home. I called the dodge dealership and they said that since no dash lights came on, no codes would be stored, and to keep driving the vehicle until it happened again. I have an appointment scheduled with them for 11/19/15 (the soonest possible appointment.) i am uncertain if this is related; however, sometimes my "key" doesn't lock or unlock the van. In august, two times the van wouldn't start right away (2-3 tries) and on september 6, it didn't start after multiple tries. About an hour later, it started with a grinding sound, which sounded to be coming from the right passenger side of the dashboard. No dash lights. It has started fine since then. |
