I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE VAN TO THE SHOULDER EVEN WITH THE LOSS OF STEERING. IT TOOK SEVERAL TRIES, BUT I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VAN.THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST AT LOW SPEEDS. THE EGR VALVE WAS REPLACED TWO MONTHS AGO. I HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE INTEGRATED POWER CONTROL MODULE IN THE PAST 1.5 YEARS. I HAVE ALSO HAVE ISSUES OF THE VAN NOT WANTING TO START.

SEARCH THE INTERNET AND YOU WILL FIND THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SAFETY RECALL ON.
