Consumer Description

THE ENGINE BLEW WITH NO INDICATION OF MAJOR TROUBLE WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE 5 AT AROUND 6PM. MAJOR SAFETY CONCERNS WITH NO POWER TO THE ACCESSORIES, HAVING TO COAST OFF THE FREEWAY EXIT AND HAVING TO PUSH THE VAN TO SAFETY. DEALER SAYS THAT IT MAY BE THE CAM SHAFT. I HAVE READ MANY CASES OF THE CAM SHAFT BREAKING OR CRACKING IN THESE VEHICLES, ESPECIALLY AFTER HAVING THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET REPLACED ( WHICH I HAVE AT 45000 MILES).
