WHILE IN MOTION ON A FREEWAY AT FREEWAY SPEEDS MY VAN JUST STALLED. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON FIRST AND THEN IT JUST STALLED. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY. I CALLED FOR A TOW BECAUSE THE VAN WOULD NOT START AFTER THAT, IT JUST KEPT CRANKING AND WOULD NOT TURN OVER. THE REPAIR SHOP WAS ABLE TO START IT THE NEXT DAY AND SAW A CODE P061C. WHICH MEANS IT WOULD BE 5 DIFFERENT PROBLEMS. THEY ARE KEEPING IT TO DRIVE IT AND HOPEFULLY GET IT TO STALL AGAIN. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, WHAT IF MY KIDS WITH WITH ME AND WE CRASHED. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS WILL THERE BE BEFORE SOMEONE STEPS IN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THERE HAVE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. HOPEFULLY SOMETHING IS DONE BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.
