Power Steering Failed problems of the 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan

While driving and while stopped at a stop light, the van will power down completely. Engine turns off, power steering fails, and all electrical. The egr valve dangerously causes the vehicle to quit even while driving in traffic. This is a huge safety issue. I was traveling down the road at 40mph with all four of my kids in tow, when the power steering went out and vehicle completely quit. Thankfully, I was able to pull hard on the wheel to pull over. After several tries, I was able to restart the van. The valve is apparently failing to send fuel to the necessary areas of the engine causing it to shut completely down. This has now occurred on numerous occasions and I no longer trust this vehicle as a safe and dependable family vehicle.

The contact owns a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact was driving approximately 5 mph and exiting a residential driveway, when the power steering failed, the steering wheel became abnormally stiff. There was also an unusual loss of power steering liquid leaking from the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer but had not yet been repaired. The failure and current mileage was 45,508.
