Description of the problem	On freeway, suddenly felt no power. Car lost power and would not go over 20 mph. Got off freeway, put car into park, would not go in reverse, started up again, same problem. Rpms go up, but no momentum to car even with foot on floor on gas pedal. After car was turned off and key was taken out, it started up like nothing was wrong. Car repair could find nothing wrong. Has happened about half a dozen times since then, as long as key is taken out, it will work fine. Until this last time, last week. Car died again on freeway, going from 70 mph to 20 mph quickly. Limped it to car shop, who finally was able to diagnose the electronic control module - for an almost $800 repair. Called and complained to chrysler who said because i was the second owner and it had too many miles on it and was out of warranty and not in the recall.... That there was nothing they could do! Will fix and sell - along with my other two jeeps - wrangler and cherokee sport, which i told chrysler as well.
