I'm having a problem right now concerning the van's ignition or fuel component. Since June, 2003 the engine will all of the suddent die or the compression goes down to a minimum that will allow the engine to only run; this has happened four times. Then when I let the engine cool down for awhile, I can start it up and it will run ok for a while. Mechanics are telling me that they can't tell what the problem is until the problem shows itself; also they say it could be some kind of ignition module of some sort. On two of the occasions, I was on a major freeway with my three kids in tow and we were stranded in the car pool lane. If you have any ideas of what the problem could be please let me know. Also, my windshield wipers go on at any time on their own and my paint peels in the back top of the van adjacent to the back hatch.

My engine has had several problems, and every time they "fix" it, something else happens. It is still sputtering and the check engine light came on again even after I spent $650 to have it fixed a few weeks ago. Now, yesterday they did yet another fuel system recall, and today (4/15/00) the check engine light came on and it is sputtering again. I am sick of sinking money into this van and it is not even paid for. Also, the number of fuel system and engine recalls they have had is dangerous. Most of their recalls have had to do with the possibility of the van catching fire. I hate to think about what could happen to my children while riding in this vehicle. They need desperately to put out a recall on the head gasket leaking oil. I had to have a $1,000 head gasket job at 60,000. That is ridiculous. I think it was due to improper repair of the oil galley plug recall, but they say that is not related, even though in the recall notice it states that "engine cylinder head oil galley plug does not seal properly and engine cylinder head oil is not adequately retained. Inadequate sealing and retention of the plug can result in oil leakage..." how can they say my van leaking oil from the cylinder head was not related? please respond. I need some help on this matter.
