What owners wrote
After fueling van completely the engine stalls numerous time until the fuel gauge drops down about 1/8th below the full mark. This has actually happened many times in the last six to eight months and it always happens right after fueling to completely full. This happened most recently in a busy intersection with an elderly lady in the back.
The van randomly and with no warning loses power steering and locks the gas pedal so it cannot be pressed while driving around 25-35 MPH. Putting the van in park and restarting the car fixes the problem. This has happened at least 8 times in the last 4 months. Mechanic has tried to fix the problem and the problem continues to be an issue. It seems to happen near stoplights while the car is in motion. It also seems to occur within 10-20 minutes of starting the vehicle.
