I turned on the ignition and I have no instrument gauges working on the dash also the service engine light and ABS lights are on. I went to a service tech and had the dash display replaced, the computer and the transmission control module replaced and still have the same problem. Can you help?

Van engine dies at any time without any sputtering or warning, like someone turned off the ignition. Will start right up again as soon as I put transmission in neutral and turn key. Often when driving the engine will jerk real hard like I just drove over a speed bump, but engine does not kill. The engine light flashes for a second. Dealer says nothing shows on computer so theres nothing he can do. Chrysler in detroit was called and said the same thing. They were no help at all. I have almost been hit from behind several times due to this problem. I see others have had the same problem posted also. Happens about once every two weeks or so. It seems if the dealers computer doesn't give them a code they are lost and can't do anything to help. It's a very frustrating and dangerous situation to be in!

Engine failed on interstate while traveling at 70 MPH. Dealers have not been able to correct problem. Engine still backfires and the service engine light is on. Especially dangerous for driver who is disbled and it is difficult to control without the use of power steering and brakes.
