THIS SAME PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED BY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ON BLOGS. WHILE IN MOTION THE VEHICLE WILL CUT OUT. ALL POWER JUST STOPS AND THE VEHICLE ROLLS TO A STOP. IT CAN BE RESTARTED. THERE IS NO INDICATION WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN. IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE EXPRESSWAY, AT A REPAIR FACILITY, STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, GOING DOWN THE ROAD. SPEED IS NOT A COMMON FACTOR. THE KEY HAS ONE OR TWO OTHER KEYS ON THE "KEY CHAIN". THERE IS NO SPECIAL WEATHER SITUATION. I DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS THE SAME CAUSE AS THE GM PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION, BUT IT PRODUCES THE SAME RESULT. THIS IS A HANDICAP SHUTTLE VAN. *TR
