| Description of the problem | My van continuously looses all power while driving. It happens on regular roads and highways. I lose my power steering, breaks... Everything. This has happened to me while driving straight as well as during turns. It doesn't matter the traveling speed. I have had some very close encounters that could have ended with a tragedy. When the van losses all power, i will have to act fast and get the van in neutral. The dash will go on a random series of flashing as if power is being restored. I am unable to try to restart my van until the van is ready for me to do so. I have had some very close encounters on the highway and the vans electrical system malfunction at 65mph and i can not do anything until the electrical systems recycles its glitch and always me to try to restart while in neural. In the meantime semi's and cars are approaching fast and i am helpless with zero control over this van. This needs to recalled an corrected before my children or myself are killed over this electrical glitch. |
