Had two occasions in the past 12 months where as I'm driving along, the engine shut off and was barely able to keep car from colliding with other vehicles on road. Most recently, I experienced a 3rd incident where while driving at approx 30 mph, all warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle lost power and was unable to accelerate. Pulled over and shut off car. And tried to restart. Engine started but was in 'limp' mode and had codes in computer. Had car towed to mechanic and they stated codes P0344, P0340 & B1A35 present. Advised that motor now has a knock in it and would need an entire replacement.

When I attempted to insert the key (fob) into the wireless ignition node wireless control module, the car did not cut off when I removed the key. The car continued to run, I did not know how to cut the car off so luckily it didn't have that much gas and it just cut off after the gas ran out. This was very scary. I contact my local dealership and they said that they had recalls on some Caravan ignition module the same year but not on my vehicle.
