| Description of the problem | On january 7, 2017, i tried to start my 2010 caravan. It wouldn't start. The light was on for the electronic throttle control, as was the check engine light. This is the third time that this has happened since mid-december. The other two times after waiting for up to a week, it has started. After checking around, i have found that this is happening quite a bit to others as well. Apparently, dealerships have no clue either, as to what is causing this issue. It could be the throttle control, it could be the main electrical module, no one seems to know for sure. I'm pretty much stuck, as i don't want to be out on the road and have my van stop, causing an accident. |
