“The recent GM recall of 2004 - 2007 cobalt and other vehicles for ignition switch problems now makes my issues in my 2004 Chevrolet Venture van potentially make some sense. There have been multiple occurrences of the problem over the years but it sounds similar to the above recall. Some of the incidents occurred on the highway (70 MPH), some happened on the dirt roads we live on (25 - 35 MPH). The engine simply stopped - no power of any kind. The engine could be restarted by shifting into neutral and turning the key. …”
