While pulling into a parking lot, the engine suddenly died with no indicator lights or warning of any kind. Steering locked up and brakes were not functional. Coasted to a stop in a stall and put the vehicle in park. Restarted it without incident but I'm afraid it will happen in much more dangerous conditions

While driving the entire vehicle including all functional systems simply shuts off. This has happened 2 times in the last 2 months. All systems are lost. Brakes, steering, engine, etc. There is no advanced waring or indications. There are no engine warning lights. The vehicle has been taken into the dealership twice to fix this malfunction with no success/progress. This is catastrophic failure because all vehicle controls are lost. Both times the vehicle was being driven. Once in the city and the other while on the highway.

As I drive it and put into stop on stop light. The break didn't engage. I had to step all the way out and it engage. It felt like I lost the brake fluid. But then after that.. when the green light went on.. the van just operated itself just fine. After few months.. the van starts out fine but cant be driven. As of now we managed to park it in businesses plaza. And the A/C feels like or sounds like acting up. And now, totally cant be driven.

Was driving on the highway in stop and go traffic when the vehicle died. The electrical system was still functional, but the brakes and the power steering were not working and the car appeared to be idling, but non-responsive. Was able to pull over and force the gear into park and turn the car off and when the vehicle turned on no warning lights were displayed.

Then driving down hill from freeway, brakes made a loud screeching sound and the whole van was shaking I thought I was gonna loose control I replace new brakes and drum its better but still shaky going down hill. After month of owning the car I could fill a lil misfire when I give a lil gas but just thought its an rt has power. Well recently my van been in the shop twice for the same problem check engine light came on shows its miss firing (ignition coils) and sparkplugs needed to be replaced. Well we replace all spark plugs and 1 ignition coil because the other coils were still good. Things were good and drove around for 3 weeks then check engine light comes again. Code still shows ignition coil need to be replace. This time replace all 6 ignition coil, guess what I just picked up my van today and 10 min of driving back home check engine light comes on again. Took it back to the mechanic it still miss firing ignition coils. I about ready to throw this van away. This van is only 3 years old how could it possibly have this much problems. In addition when I turn on my signal light on to go right or left my wipers will go off too.

The contact pulled the vehicle over and noticed that the odor was very strong around the rear driver's side brake assembly along with white smoke. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that both rear rotors were very hot and the springs that release the emergency brakes were rusted out, which prevented the emergency brake from being released. The dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 11,000.

Pressure on the brake pedal would not stop the vehicle and it crashed into the car ahead, pushing it into the second car ahead. Eventually the rpms dropped after the collision. Fault code showed headlamp module (tipm)
