Description of the problem	While turning onto another street the van stalled. I put on my flashers and stopped, put the van in park and started it again. It started right up and the check engine light was on. It didn't have any power when i hit the gas, so i turned it off and started it again and it ran normal, except for the check engine light being on. On the way home it almost stalled again. This happened on a saturday. We called the dealer right away and they said to bring it in on monday. A week or so before the van did this i noticed the rpm's going up an down when i would be at a stop just idling. The dealer checked the codes for the throttle body and found an update so they reprogrammed it according to their paperwork. On friday i was driving down the street going about 25 mph and when i got to the traffic light i lost power. I thought it had stalled again, but it didn't. When i pressed the gas it did not accelerate , and would not go over 10 mph. I got it off the street and shut it off and then restarted it. It would not respond when i stepped on the gas. I turned it off again and let it sit for a couple minutes and then when i re-started it, it responded when i accelerated. Once again the check engine light was on. I immediately contacted the dealer and drove it right to them. According to their paperwork they checked and found an internal fault with the throttle body actuator. They replaced the throttle body assembly and kept it a few days to see if it would lose power again. According to them it did not and i picked it up. This is the first day i have had it back and so far it has run fine. I am driving children around in this van all the time and now i need to be concerned that it is going to stall or go into "limp mode" as the dealer called it when i pull out onto the busy roads where i live. I hope they fixed it.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
