When we are driving the van just shuts off this has been happening since approx 1 year from date of purchase after the steering column was recalled and replaced. It is happening more offten and the other day I was driving on the freeway and it just stopped all power is lost . We have had the van back to the dealer numerous times with no avail now I am afraid somebody it going to get injured or killed it has been extremelly dangerous . We have two children and this is our prime trasportation and we do not feel comfortable with our childrens saftey. I would like this taken care of as soon as possible before someone is hurt or killed.
