Consumer Description

THE ENGINE DIES WHILE DRIVING. BOUGHT THE MINIVAN WITH 97 MILES. DRIVES BACK HOME AND PARKED THERE FOR ABOUT 1 WEEK. (NEW YEAR HOLIDAYS). THEN STARTED TO DRIVE THE VAN. THE FIRST DAY (WITH ALMOST FULL GAS TANK) THE ENGINE DIES WHILE DRIVING 3 TIMES, ALL ON CITY STREETS WITH LOW SPEED. 2 OUT OF 3 TIME THERE IS LITTLE UPHILL, THE OTHER TIME IT IS IN FLAT GROCERY PARKING LOT. AFTER THAT I SCHEDULED SERVICE APPOINTMENT AND BEGIN TO USE THE VAN FOR COMMUTE AS WELL TO TEST MORE. FOR ONE WEEK IT IS DRIVING OK. BUT AFTER I FILLUP THE GAS TANK, THE ENGINE DIES AGAIN, IN ONE OF THE EXACT SAME PLACES NEAR MY HOME IT DIED ONE WEEK AGO. HAD THE ENGINE DIED WHEN ON HIGHWAY, IT WOULD HAVE MORE SERIOUS IMPACT. THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING UNUSUAL YET AND NEED TO KEEP THE VAN FOR LONGER TIME FOR DIAGNOSIS.
