| Description of the problem | I have had my van now for about 700 miles, we bought it used from a local dealership. I ran the van through an automatic car wash, and when i put the van back into gear and began to move the check engine light came on. So i turned off the van hoping to reset the check engine light and the van did not want to start back up. (at this point i am in a alley with one way traffic) finally i got the van to start but the check engine light was still on when i put it into gear it sputtered and then stopped it gave a red light with a bolt through it and also the oil light came one. Again i tried several times to start the vehicle and finally got it to go again. Then while driving down the road it began shifting on its own, it is an automatic but the 1, 2, 4, 3 , 2 , 1 gears began showing an finally it stalled, lucky i was able to coast into a parking lot. This vehicle is not trust worthy. Please investigate this issue. I do have some video of these things happening. |
