Caravan 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 9,550 miles
While driving, my Caravan looses all engine power and almost stalls. Took it to the dealer, but since there is no check engine light or code in the system they cant find the fault. This has been going on for over three months. It's sporadic and puts me in a dangerous situation because I lose all steering and brake control, I travel on main roads @55mph. Also, sometimes when I start it up it will idle for a few minutes then either surge to a higher RPM or choke to the point of stalling.
