Description of the problem	Your site wouldn't allow pull-down for affected parts earlier, here is part of the e-mail report i first sent dealer 5/6/14: " .. Something new is a problem w/my routan but i want to check in prior to making an appt. Since we so recently had it in for diagnostic check up. Here's what's happening it's very scary: 6 times now over the last 2 weeks it's just conked-out/shut off while i'm driving, leaving me with no steering, brakes or anything! Fortunately it's happened in low traffic areas on fairly straight roads so i've been able to coast to the side, but i'm getting scared to drive my van. Yesterday- it conked out three times... Bringing kids home from school-- again very scary, and once on a turn which was difficult but luckily no one was behind me... These events... All happened at low speed 15-30 mph and happen so quietly i can barely tell it's happened... It's like the key/ignition somehow flicks all by itself into the acc position. Then i have to wait til the van stops, turn the key and van all the way off and re-start. Then it seems to start up fine. But this happened three times just yesterday p. M.... It's dangerous, and i'm getting more and more scared to drive my van, but i have to with four kids and activities." today 6/30/14 (again) dealer found no problem. Cost to replace switch $989. 00. I researched delphi, china, austin martin and fully believe a commonality with gm recall exists. The routan is a vw & chrysler complicating my research. I've followed hierarchy- dealer, vw, now nhtsa but hit a road block(no pun). Please investigate this asap. Update 6/30- gm recalled 8m more as "unintended key ignition rotation"- exactly what's happening with my routan. I tried submitting this complaint earlier- but your website wouldn't allow. So this is not someone jumping on the bandwagon. This is real, please help.

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.
