2 2011 Volkswagen Routan abs and traction control light came on went off multiple times got on freeway airbag like and a few other light came on the more I try to accelerate as I was getting on the freeway it almost felt like it got stuck and then nothing no power steering no brakes everything shut down and it will not work now what could it be? Husband replaced battery we have power again but won't start just makes clicking noises and when he replaced battery it sparks when positive terminal gets attached and we send seen smoke coming from passenger side we removed terminals from battery van won't work.
