| Description of the problem | I, along with my disabled father and 3 yr old daughter, were traveling on hwy 41 traveling approximately 55 mph when i tried to pass someone and my van lost complete acceleration power. I had to get back into the lane and coast to a safe area to stop and leave my van. We were surrounded by cars traveling in speeds of 60mph + and could of easily been injured! There were absolutely no warnings of any problems. The van just simply lost complete power. Now i am left with getting my van towed and having repairs made which are likely to cost several thousand dollars! Why is this not on recall yet?? |
