NHTSA Complaint #10676236 — 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN

I WAS DRIVING TO GO PICK UP MY WIFE AND I WAS ON A BACK TWO LANE ROAD WHEN MY VAN JUST SHUT OFF. I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND IT TOOK A COUPLE OF TIMES TO RESTART BUT EVENTUALLY DID. SINCE THEN MY VEHICLE HAS HAD A FEW ISSUES WITH STARTING. I HAVE HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT BUT HE SEES NOTHING WRONG. IT ALSO HAPPENED TO MY WIFE WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD. SHE WAS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN IT JUST TURNED GREEN. SHE PUT HER FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR AND IT STOPPED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. SHE WAS WITH MY YOUNGEST SON AND HE WAS SCARED TO DEATH. WE KEEP HAVING TO HAVE ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE TO COME JUMP START IT. TODAY JANUARY 17, 2015 THE MAN COME OUT TO JUMP START IT AND IT IS COMPLETELY DEAD. WE USED TO HEAR THIS SOUND LIKE AIR COMING FROM THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE BUT NOTHING NOW. HE SAID TO ME IT MAY BE A FUEL PUMP. *TR
