Driving down interstate vehicle just quit. Was able to coast to side of road. Attempt to restart failed.4 times. Let vehicle sit for about 10 minutes and normal restart. This is third time in three weeks. Other two no starts were after vehicle sitting overnight. No error codes or check engine light. First no start replaced air filter. Second no start replaced battery. Info provided because of 2010 dodge grand caravan issue an potential for it to exist in early vehicles. I do not believe it is the ignition switch.

Some unfortunately..several hundreds and thousands of dollars later...how unfair of chrysler...and we're talking....
