Started the vehicle one morning and drove up to a stop sign. I was in a city street making a left turn. Saw clear from both directions of any traffic.accelerated and the bas,esp light, and traction light came on. At this point the vehicle wanted to stall, lost power, and steering became difficult. Stopped the vehicle and restarted the engine and accelerated again to about 20 MPH and the vehicle repeated the stalling and hesitated to accelerate, once above 30 MPH all lights continued on and the vehicle kept driving accordingly. Every time the vehicle is started up and drove from that date of jan.26,2021 the vehicle malfunctioning continues. I find this to be a severe mechanical problem and a danger to me, my family, and the public.

My van is up to date on all recalls, but it has begun to shut off randomly while driving. The traction control light comes on and whole thing shuts off. I have seen a ton of others with the same complaint. The dealership has been less than helpful. I have poured money into the car, but it is unsafe. Looks like a recall issue. There is no rhyme or reason to when it shuts off. Thankfully, it has been at less than 30 MPH because it is very unsafe.
