As I am driving my van will suddenly jerk forward and the service engine soon light comes on and then goes off, and shortly after that the van suddenly dies. I have had it back to the dealer many,many times since I bought it in Feb,2004 and they have drove it and put it on machines and can't figure out what and why it's doing this. I just found out the previous owner and original one had the same problem and so he got rid of it. When it suddenly dies I have no steering, brakes etc. And that is very dangerous when you are in heavy 4 lane traffic and no where to go. I want to know why this hasn't been recalled and corrected, I have talked to several people who has the same problem and I want to know why and how this can be corrected before I or someone gets killed or injured. I have children in my van alot and I wonder if that matters to you if they get injured or killed because you can't or won't fix the problem!!!!!!!!! I have had Dodge vans before and liked them, but I can asure you that, is changing rapidly. I can't believe all the complaints that's on this site on the 97 Dodge caravan's. What's your problem?.
