Consumer Description
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND I NOTICED THAT MY STEERING WAS TIGHT. WHEN I LOOKED DOWN, MY RPM'S WERE ON 0, MY CAR HAD SHUT OFF AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PUT CAR IN PARK AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW WEEKS AFTER THAT, GOING THE SAME SPEED. BRAKES & STEERING GAVE OUT, WAS ABLE TO COAST TO SIDE OF ROAD, PUT CAR IN PARK AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. ON MARCH 28TH I WAS DRIVING INTO WORK, GOING APPROX. 45-50 MPH, NOTICED THAT MY STEERING GOT TIGHT, CAR HAD SHUT OFF AGAIN. THANKFULLY I WAS IN THE OUTSIDE LANE SO I COULD PULL OVER. CAR STARTED RIGHT UP. IT HAPPENED A 4TH TIME ON APRIL 2, 2014. THIS TIME I FELT THE STEERING WHEEL GETTING TIGHT, I PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS MY CAR SHUTS OFF FIRST AND THEN THERE IS A 1-2 SECOND DELAY BEFORE THE TRACTION CONTROL STEERING LIGHT COMES ON. MY CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP RIGHT NOW, WAITING TO HEAR. I CHECKED ON THE IGNITION RECALL FOR THE 2010 GRAND CARAVANS AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN# DOES NOT FALL INTO THE RECALL DATES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR MYSELF, MY FAMILY AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR!! *TR
