Description of the problem	At the time of the incident i had been driving for about 20 minutes in moderate traffic on a city street. I stopped at a red light nb at a busy 5 way intersection on a curve. The gear selector was in d. When the light turned green i applied the gas pedal lightly and the car did not move forward. The engine rpms increased but the car made no forward progress. I then attempted to put the car in neutral and back into drive. Also i put the car into s and tiptronic modes as well. None of these actions produced any effect. The only change that i noticed was that the lighted gear indicators next to the shifter flashed "prnds". Because i was on a curve traffic approaching from the rear was not able to see me. As a result i activated the hazard flashers. Cars were having to drive around me but fortunately a man in a pickup parked behind me and helped me push my car out of the lane of traffic. After getting the car into a safe spot i turned it off and upon restarting the car it functioned normally.
