Gas pedal stuck on acceleration until van hit 108mph and shut of and turned back on and was fine again Rear hatch light dose not stay in place
I PULLED OUT OF A WELL LIGHTED GAS STATION AT NIGHT AND MY INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS COME ON AUTOMATICALLY SO I ASSUMED MY HEADLIGHTS WERE ALSO ON .AS I PROCEEDED TO RT 50 AND MADE THE RIGHT TURN, IT WAS PITCH BLACK EXCEPT FOR THE DASH LIGHTS WHICH WERE FULLY LIT .THE PROBLEM WAS I COULDN'T FIND THE SWITCH TO TURN ON THE HEADLIGHTS BECAUSE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS OFF, THE SWITCH WASN'T ILLUMINATED. I WAS NOW IN A SERIOUS PANIC. I WAS MOVING SLOW BUT COULDN'T SEE THE ROAD OR WHERE I WAS IN THE ROAD! I FINALLY CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I WAS AFRAID SOMEONE WAS GOING TO HIT ME FROM BEHIND. MY WIFE AND I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! I FINALLY FOUND THE SWITCH AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE. THIS HAS ALSO BEEN A PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING AT DUSK AND THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON AUTOMATICALLY AND AS IT GETS DARKER YOU DON'T REALIZE YOUR HEADLIGHTS AREN'T ON. ONE TIME A FRIEND WAS FOLLOWING US AND CALLED US ON THE CELL PHONE TO LET US KNOW OUR LIGHTS WEREN'T ON! NOTE: WE DROVE A 2000 CARAVAN FOR 14 YEARS AND KNEW TO TURN ON THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN WE COULDN'T SEE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. SAME WITH ALL MY VEICHLES BEFORE THAT. WE'VE BEEN CONDITIONED , THAT'S HOW IT WORKS.
