It started with the wipers, then the door locks, then the whole panel including the radio would go off and on. Although this was annoying, it wasn't over. The van started to surge when panels would go off, and finally completely shut down. I had three children in the van with me on the crowded highway in the middle lane. SCARY! Got it to jump off, and no it wasn't a bad battery! It almost made it home (5 miles) before "riding the bronco" again. I am currently looking for a mechanic, comparing prices and ideas.
