The full malfunction you experienced is likely a failing "gateway computer". I believe replacement by a dealer is about $750 or so, but will prevent further problems. If it goes completely the electrical system on the car will turn off but the engine/trans will likely continue operating (poorly) until the next time you shut off the car....not sure if the cooling system/fan keeps working either, probably better to not drive it that way unless its at higher speeds where ram-air effect is sufficient....
