| Description of the problem | I was driving on a low traffic road going approximately 30 mph when the parking brake error warning light appeared on the dash hud and the gear selector d was flashing. Another warning appeared in the hud that stated "service transmission", as well as the check engine light and stability control warning light. As this began i was on a slight incline and began drifting backward, leading me to believe the engine had died but i could still hear it was on so i applied more pressure to the gas pedal but couldn't move forward. I turned the engine off and as i turned the car back on, another warning appeared stating that i should put it in park before attempting to shift (i was in park at the time) so i went ahead and shifted to drive but the entire car jerked and made a very loud thud that sounded as if i was shifting into another gear while flooring the gas pedal. When i finally was able to go forward, i could barely move even though i was applying full throttle and the rpms were redlined. I couldn't go any faster than 15 mph for the remainder of my trip (i only had a mile to go since i was almost home) and the rpms stayed redlined for about half that time but i was never able to accelerate over that 15 mph for the duration of the trip. When i got to my driveway, i put it in park again and opened the hood and the engine was idling much louder than usual. |
