I just purchased 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan I was in the expressway and just suddenly the vehicle started shaking and the engine wanted to die out. I was in the middle lane of the expressway there were some traffic. Then finally I got it up to the emergency lane. The fuel gauge was showing more than half tank of gas.
