Description of the problem	Vehicle suddenly lost power (did not stall) while driving 70 mph on interstate i40 in a construction zone (no access to median because of concrete construction barriers). Engine power did not allow me to drive over 35 mph. Dash board indicator started flashing red (etc indicator: electronic throttle control). Several tractor trailers had to brake hard to avoid running into the rear of my vehicle. Engine is 3. 0l mercedes diesel. Problem appears to be a failed swirl motor due to excessive oil blow by from a defective intake tube with an orange gasket. This mercedes diesel engine was used in jeep gr cherokee in 2007 & 2008. This particular problem was identified in nhtsa item #1006202 regarding mercedes vehicles but never to jeep. This situation of loss of power while highway driving could of been tragic.
