Engine will not start. happens on occasion but happened enough that i had two starters installed as well as a battery. what else could it be? can turn the key and nothing happens. i can possibly sit there and turn the ignition 10+ times and still nothing. thought it could be a bad spot in the new starter?? cleaned battery posts often and now have treated the connections. would like not to receive another call from lovely wife that the van would not start. has to be something with a circuit staying open or something. safety issue due to not knowing if your car is going to start when you arrive to a destination. issue has been going on for 2+ years and van has 100k miles last instance of issue: 23 june 2017
While driving at various speed the car suddenly shuts off and loses power steering. this has occurred 4 times now and is extremely dangerous. car can only be restarted when at a complete stop and placed back in park. *tr
10/7/12: entering onto road, began acceleration up to 20/25 mph -then all power, controls dead. lost power steering and coasted into parking lot. shut car down, flooded/pumped accelerator pedal. difficulty starting but worked, drove like normal, again. 10/14/12: turning from sidestreet, on to main street -going 20 mph. lost all power again-manually turned coasted car into left middle turning lane. re-started, operated normal. *tr
