2002 Dodge Intrepid electrical complaints

The computer "pm module" and related components keep failing on my new 2002 dodge intrepid. The last time this happened I was in rush-hour traffic and the car died right in ther middle of the freeway while traveling at 60mph. This put me direct risk of an accident. The pmmodule controls the ignition coils and the fuel pump and fuel injectors and throttle positioning sensor. I have had the car serviced for this problem 3 other times and the dodge dealership where I bought the car has not yet fully been able to fix the cause of the problem just the after effects.
It started out as just a rough idle. They couldn't duplicate it and told me to drive it until it got worse. I did. It then added trying to go dead when I pulled into parking places. They again couldn't duplicate concern. Take it and drive it until it gets worse. Then it started racing occassionally while at idle and would take five or six times to start only to to go dead when you pulled a short distance and came to a complete stop. They still can't duplicate the problem. Chrysler told them to replace the head. The mechanic says there's nothing wrong with that head and that it will not fix the problem. I know they're going to give it back to me and say drive it until it gets worse again. The next step is for it to go dead in traffic and cause a wreck.
Loose ground wire to battery posed electrical problems. Also, odometer tampering. Vehicle died while driving. Also, suspension/ steering problems. Dealer replaced all four bulbs on headlamps and high/low beam dimmer switch ,and cleaned out engine hoses, pcv valve and fuel filter.
The windshield wipers, horn and the interior/exterior lights malfunctioned. Which resulted in the vehicle shutting off.
