| While driving 2001 chrysler voyager rpms dropped to zero, van suddenly stalls out.no brakes or steering. will not start up. already had this happen once, and mechanic replaced fuel filter and fuel pump. ran for one month, and it happened again. towed it to same mechanic, started up after couple tries. stalled out again. very scary since i have 3 children, 2 under two years old. cannot afford new vehicle, but also cannot afford monthly visit to mechanic. searched several websites and found this a common problem, i cannot believe this has not been investigated yet! from what i'm finding, no mechanic has been able to thoroughly fix this recurrent problem.*ak | |||

| Dt: consumer was driving vehicle when she smelled an intense smell and the check engine light came on. the check engine light had came on days before but went off. the consumer drove straight to the dealer so the could run a diagnostic check. they concluded that the fuel injection system failed causing fuel to go into the engine and causing fumes to enter car through vents. the service paper indicated that the number three fuel injector was replaced. consumer was taken by ambulance to the emergency room and treated for the fumes that she inhaled. consumer is concerned that the fumes did not smell and if she continued to drive to work she may have passed out causing accident. this took place in new windsor, new york, jackson ave, in the morning when consumer was on her way to work, on july 11, 2005. *nm | |||
