Description of the problem	200 miles from home, i was ascending an approximately 8 mile, 2 lane,15 degree hill. At about 5 miles up the hill i tried to pass a double semi proceeding up hill at less then 10 mph. I pushed down on the gas, and got half the way around the truck, and the engine shut down, leaving me on the wrong side of the road without power steering or brakes. I had no place to go, and i could now see oncoming traffic coming directly at me. With the gear lever in drive, there is no emergency or parking brake, as it is electronic, and with the car moving, you cannot access the park position. I was standing on the brakes, but getting almost no reaction. Finally, i got behind the truck, i stood on the brakes and got as far right as possible, and got the car to stop. When i looked down at the dash, a warning message informed me that the transmission had overheated. This apparently is what triggered the engine to shut down. Incredibly dangerous and stupid engineering. Kill the occupants, save the transmission. I was blocking the right lane but had to sit there for 30 minutes until the transmission came back to operating temp. Started the car and proceeded up hill. No possible place to turn around. Within 5 minutes, the transmission temp. Was getting critically hot, found a pull off and called roadside assistance. At dealer 5 hours later. They said they could fix car by recalibrating the computer control to transmission. They did the work the next day. The transmission overheated again within 5 miles of a test ride. The dealer ship closed at 2 pm and left me standing there. Cost over $600 for hotel and taxi ride home. The selling dealer trucked the jeep back to the dealership for repair. Diagnosed the problem, as a defectively manufactured transmission and agreed to replace the transmission. A month later, i got the car back. This is a very dangerous car.
