| Description of the problem | I have had my van back for three days since having the recall repairs done on the torque (which i filled a complaint about after being told mine wasn't recalled by the dealership, which it actually was) and seats. It has been raining heavily for a couple of days here. While driving down the road, and coming to yet another stop sign, my van stalls out and completely dies with no warning. I had no control over brakes, steering wheel, nothing. My husband comes and gets me, our daughter, and the van. The van started right up when he got there after approximately 15 min after i had repeatedly tried to get it start with no success. We let it idle for a bit because he thinks i'm crazy, and it dies again. Same problem with it getting it to start. Come to find out, the computer and pcm are getting wet, causing total power failure... Ugh! Is there anything on this van that was made right?! Very dangerous van! |
