Description of the problem	While in motion at low speed the engine suddenly stops running. The power steering seizes up & i have to manually steer to the side of the road. The check engine light comes on, when i restart the car. Each time it has happened, fortunately no one has been behind me. The dealership that we purchased it from said that it was a cam shaft problem. After paying $1000+ in repairs to fix this problem, it still continues to happen. We have contacted the dealership and they told me that i needed an oil change. I brought it in for an oil change & it continues to shut down while driving. The dealer then told me that it is another cam shaft & they have no way of knowing which one. The check engine light no longer goes on & it does not store codes when this happens. Several times we have contacted "chrysler customer cares" & they just take down our contact info, register our problem & do not follow up. This is a 2012 grand caravan with approx. 92k+ miles. We have not received a recall notice regarding this problem.
