I purchased a 2003 Dodge intrepid in November of 2005 and the car runs fine up until about a month and a half ago. The check engine light came on and the car would get stuck in one gear and my rpm would go up into the red line unless I pulled over and restarted the car. Other times it would get stuck and then jerk into the next gear. Then about four days ago I was on the freeway and the whole car just shut off. I could not move it and traffic was speeding past me and a few had to slam on breaks to avoid hitting me and my ten month old daughter. I had to have some people help me to push it off the freeway so that I could restart it to make it back home. I am very frightened to drive now especially with my daughter in the car because I am afraid this may happen again. I had the codes read on the car and about seven came up all pointing to different things. A mechanic suggested the transmission ecm. The estimated cost of fixing this if it is the problem is about 750. 00 dollars.
