MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE MINIVAN TODAY AROUND 6:45 AM. SHE WAS DROPPING OFF OUR DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL. HER SPEED LIMIT WAS 25 MPH. 2 TIMES, THE TRACTION STABILITY CONTROL LIT UP IN THE DASHBOARD. THE ENGINE STOPPED, BRAKE WAS NOT WORKING AND STEERING WHEEL CANNOT BE MOVED. BOTH TIMES, SHE WAS ABLE TO TURN ON THE HAZARD LIGHT TO ALERT ANY VEHICLES BEHIND HER. LUCKILY SHE WAS NOT TRAVELING FAST AND THE VEHICLES BEHIND HER WERE SLOW. BOTH TIMES SHE HAD TO REMOVE THE KEY AND REINSERT IT AND RESTART THE MINIVAN. SHE WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE MINIVAN. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THAT THIS HAPPENED. OUR DEALER HAVE OPEN APPOINTMENTS 6 DAYS FROM NOW. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT OTHERS ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING. BELOW IS A LINK OF COMPLAINTS...
