Description of the problem	A few weeks/months after the purchase of my jeep about 2 years ago, i noticed that my cruise control had stopped working and the abs light had come. I checked my fuses and relays and they were ok. Then a day or so later i was driving on the interstate and my check engine light and my brake lights came on. My jeep then seemed to downshifted itself. It felt as if the transmission had locked up, it slowed to about 30mph and would not shift onto another gear. I pulled over killed the motor. After a few attempts to drive it, i turned the key over and noticed the break and engine lights were off so i attempted to drive home and was sucessfull. This started to happen more and more often. I noticed that it mainly happened when either i was running my ac or it was wet/raining outside. I then started researching jeep problems and recalls. I came across the daminoncrysler recall no. 13. The recall had described the issue i was having, so i researched my vin and it staled that the recall no. 13 has already been completed on jeep. Now my jeep is stuck in limp mode and will not reset. It will not shift and the abs, brake and engine lights stay on. Is there a way to find out exactly what service did they did when it was recalled in 2005 (if any)? I dont know what to do
