When I put the car into drive, the car bucks and rocks and then shuts down/turns off. I do not have this problem when in reverse or neutral. It seems to be in a higher gear when I put the car into drive.

The van listed above is a Grand Caravan SXT.

Hi,

Does it feel like a manual transmission when the clutch is released too quickly? Also, have you had the can-bus scanned? CAN stands for controller area network. Basically, all modules are tied together via a few wires. This type of scan will retrieve codes regardless of the module storing them.

Here is a link showing how it's done. If you haven't, I would recommend doing this.

Let me know as much as you can.

Take care,

Joe
