NO this is not normal. Your Jeep is equipped with the 42RLE 4-speed automatic transmission. Usually, when you 'put the pedal to the metal', depending on what speed you are traveling at, the transmission should kick down one or two gears. If it is dropping into neutral on its own, I would say check the fluid level. The specified fluid change interval for the '03 automatic transmission is every 30,000 miles. I also have to say that the Chrysler transmissions are extremely sensitive to the type of fluid used in them. ATF+4 is the ONLY fluid that should be used, nothing else. This is also known as "Type 7176 fluid". Make absolutely sure that yourself or any shop that services it puts that fluid in, otherwise your transmission will NOT like it.
In addition, the 42RLE is controlled by a computer. The dealer can scan the computer for clutch volume indexes and any trouble codes stored or present. If you are within the 7-year/70,000mile powertrain warranty, they should do it for free. If they do not, take it to another dealer. Do not let them try and bend you over with diagnostic fees and that crap.
Hope that helps you. Good luck with it.
