| Description of the problem | My husband and i along with our 3 children were driving home from vacation. The whole ride went very smoothly no problems no warning lights nothing. We were stopped at a traffic light, when the light turned green my husband started going all of a sudden the engine started to rev and our van would not move. It was like it was stuck in neutral. My husband got out and pushed the van to the side of the road and called for assistance. When they got there they checked the transmission fluid and it all was good. We have to van towed to our house and there it now sits. I am completely amazed on how a vital part of my van can just stop working with no warning nothing. |
