Description of the problem	The van cut off while driving. Eeverytime, i tried to start it, the instrument panel said "no fuse." i had it looked at by a mechanic and he said that my alternator and battery were dead. After they were replaced, the car started up and i drove it to work. On the way to work, while the car was driving, all of the lights in the car went out and the instrument panel reset itself (date, time, and trip computer) after about 5 seconds. This repeated itself every 15 minutes or so, until the car cut off. I refastened the battery connectors, got the car a jump, and it started to run. I parked the car. Later, i got in and started it with no problem. The next day, i went to start the car and it wouldnt start. I got a jump and it started up again. Driving into work, the car cut off while i was driving on the street. I had to steer to the side of the road to get to safety. The worst thing about it all, is that when the electrical system fails, the key gets stuck in the ignition, and you can not shift into neutral if you need to push the car off the road. I have read multiple reviews about this car's electrical system, but it is a danger to everyone on the road for a car to consistently have electrical problems, especially ones that cause it to cut off while driving. This needed to be addressed before anyone gets hurt.
