The van shuts down during speeds between 35-40 mph. There are no warning or check engine lights, just the traction light comes on and the RPM gauge goes to zero. When the engine shut down there is no power steering or power brakes. Today when the van shut off I was able to shift the vehicle into neutral, and start it, but 20 seconds later it shut down again. I attempted one more time and it started. I quickly shifted into drive to avoid being struck by another vehicle. The van has 165,000 miles. This started happening about 2 weeks ago and is intermittent. My wife and kids aren't able to drive this van due to this safety issue.

While driving on a flat straight road around 35-45 mph vehicle (about 80K miles) lost all power and steering. Was lucky to get on the shoulder and restart the car. This has happened twice in the last month. All other recalls and repairs are up to date.
The van just at its own choice cuts off, you can be going 5 mph or 70mph. There is no warning, then you lose steering and braking with the engine off. After you get it stopped it starts right back up but you don't know for how long before it does it again. There is a recall on the igniti0N box but not for my VIN number, Chrysler needs to expand the years on that recall before someone gets hurt badly or killed...
