Consumer Description

JUST DRIVING THE VAN AND IT SHOWS CHECK TRACTION CONTROL AND MY ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON AND TRACTION CONTROL OFF. IT KEEPS RECURRING AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO TO FIX IT. IF I PULL OVER ON THE SIDE ROAD AND SHUT OFF THE KEY AND WAIT A MINUTE AND START IT BACK UP THE LIGHTS AND ALL GO AWAY FOR A BIT. IF I DRIVE IT WITH LIGHTS ON AND THE CHECK TRACTION CONTROL ON IT SMELLS LIKE SOMETHING IS BURNING. SO I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND SHUT IT OFF ALL THE TIME UNTIL THE LIGHTS ARE GONE. *TR
