Description of the problem	I just received a safety recall notice 11s25 / nhtsa recall 12v-006 everytime i drive my van it does not seem to want to accelerate or maintain speed. I have taken it to the mechanic and i was told that i needed to have a new egr valve put on, so i did. That did not fix the problem and i was told new spark plugs and wires so i had them replace, that did not fix the problem. Then i was told that i may need a new fuel filter, so i had it replaced and once again that did not solve the problem. This is the only vehicle i have and i am a single mom to two young children. I am worried that while i am driving i will lose all power and will be hit by another vehicle. My van never wants to go over 40 mph and once it does reach that speed it will not maintain and sometimes makes an odd noise. I pulled onto the by-pass the other day and my van would not accelerate right away... Thank god that the truck behind me was able to pass me on the shoulder. There have been a couple other times when my van would not gain speed and i would have to pull over so that the vehicles behind me could pass. So in a nut shell the problems are as listed: 1.) van will not accelerate or maintain speed 2.) when i press on the gas pedal there is often a pinging / knocking sound i just want to know what i need to do to get this problem fixed and not be out any more money. Please help!
