2 Automatic Transmission problem

Failure Date: 05/22/2010

May 9th, I parked my car in a school parking lot . Upon trying to move the car to go home I could not get it to go in to gear. I called for a tow truck, while waiting for a tow a friend of mine helped me remove the center console to see if we could locate the issue. We ended up having to manually depress a button on the side of the shifting system to get the car to go into gear. Once out of park the shifter moved freely between r/n/d. On 5-22-2010, while traveling approximately 15-20mph on my home street in my neighborhood the left front (driver) tie rod snapped in half sending my car up over the sidewalk curb and into the grass/trees. The car jerked hard left and was surging foward and hard to control and kept jerking pulling and surging for approx 75feet until I was able to gain some control and get mycar back onto my street and into my driveway. It is undrivable and am waiting on a tow to the local chevy dealership to adress these issues.
