Car stranded me, all electronic subsystems crashed ( bizarre behavior, including NAV, Radio, Gauges, Wipers) finally the transmission decided to shift itself into PARK while I was driving at approximately 12 - 15 miles per hours. Needless to say, it felt that I was rear ended with car coming to an abrupt stop and the engine stalled. Unable to restart and each time that I did try the wiper moved from their park position and swept slowly across the windshield returning to their park position.

140661 km (auto w/speed stick) One day. while i was coming home, the car seemed to lose the transmission. I got it towed home and started troubleshooting. There are no codes, the engine starts and runs but there is nothing from the transmission in any gear. Actually, even while it's in park, it seems to be in neutral. . I did notice that as I moved it through the gears, that the engine surges. Once I saw that, I noticed that when in reverse, the speedometer reads approx 5MPH and when in drive it reads about 10-12 MPH. Any thoughts? I'm pretty confused.I jack up the back end to check the drive shaft check the wire connection near the computer module on the trany all was good turn the well to see if the crank shaft was ok put the car back on the grand sharted the car all was working this has happen to me twos now ????
