While entering a interstate highway, our new 2011 dodge grand caravan (less than 100 miles) stalled and lost all power. After almost being rear ended due to lack of power and due to her skilled driving, my wife was able to get the car on the side of the road. The van was unable to restart and had to be towed to dealer where it had been purchased only 6 days earlier. According to the dealer, there was a failure of the powertrain control module (PCM). Due to this failure, there was no limp mode of reduced power to keep the vehicle running for better control. Due to the repair being a warranty repair, the dealership kept the defective part.

When the accelerator pedal was engaged the vehicle currently does not increase in speed. The contact had to quickly react because of the traffic behind the vehicle and drive onto the emergency lane and shut to the vehicle off. The contact restarted the vehicle and it began to function normally. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who was unable to diagnosed the failure. Immediately after the contact drove away from the dealer the failure recurred. The contact drove onto the emergency lane over to the side of the road and the check engine light came on.

The failure mileage was 200.
