I was coming down a snowy mountain. To prevent from sliding and wrecking I put the car in first gear for about 3 miles. When I finally got a leveled road and put it in drive the car was driving like it was still in 1st gear. The RPMs were going up but the speed wouldn't go past 25 mph no matter how much I tried.
I finally pulled over into a parking lot and tried to going into Reverse but the car kept going forward. I put it on park and the car was still rolling forward. I turned the car off and back on and then it didn't start. The dashboard comes on and it lets me change the shifter to all the drives but it doesn't turn on. It doesn't click or anything. No noises happened when it wouldn't go past 1st gear.
Does someone have any idea what it could be? Someone is going to go look at it later but I'm terrified that it will be an expensive problem. So I'm trying to get suggestions/ideas to calm my nerves. Thank you
