Description of the problem	My 2011 routan suddenly lost power while i, with my kid on board, was driving on a highway in march 2014. Can you imagine a vehicle stopping in a flow of vehicles at 70+ mph? All lights were on. I managed to restart the engine and was able to drive but the check engine light was still on. The dealership from whom i bought the vehicle "repaired" it and told me that "everything is fine" by having a brand-new set of wiring. A month later, the same life-threatening issue happened again while i was driving. This time, the vehicle stalled and i could not rotate the steering wheel at all. Now the vehicle is again with the dealership for diagnosis. As a matter of fact, about half a year ago before these losses of power happened, i experienced another problem with the vehicle. The acceleration was not very responsive. That is, when i hit the gas pedal, the vehicle initially did not accelerate at all and after 2-3 seconds, it suddenly accelerated. This really frightened me as i tried to change lanes. Now i have no confidence with this vehicle at all. I am deeply worried that even if the vehicle is "repaired" this time, i and my family could get injured or killed by having a car that randomly shuts off in the midst a stream of fast-moving vehicles. This type of vehicle should be banned from the road for the safety of innocent people. *js

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.
