Description of the problem	Driving down i70 west bound going 70 mph in indiana and engine turned off lost power every light on dash came on and the was a blinking red light in center of dash. Some how i made it over to the edge of the road and put it in park. The van would not start. I noticed i was on the white line and wanted to move the van over more, but i could not get the van into neutral. I could feel the every car and truck drive by. I was scared for my life. I was traveling with my wife and 3 children under five on the coldest day of the year. I kept thinking a drunk driver is going to clip us. We lucky to have enterprise pick up my family and i got towed back to the dealership. The only thing the dealer could find was a blown 10 amp fuse for the ecm. They replaced the fuse and drove the van for 200 miles and the said the van drove fine. They don't know what caused the fuse to blow. The only way for them to find out what was wrong was to have it happen again with a computer hooked up. They sent me on my was with a box of 10 amp fuses a week later. I would not expect this from a 2011 with 30000 mile. I don't feel safe in this van, but its not worth anything on a trade in. Don't know what to do.
