I was driving along in major traffic on a busy thoroughfare and suddenly the engine lost acceleration, the engine light came on, and the d (rive) light started blinking apparently signifying a major transmission problem. The car immediately lost speed down to 10 miles an hour and I had to navigate out of busy traffic via a left hand turn to a safe resting spot not knowing whether I would make it through the oncoming traffic. I had 3 passengers in the car. The car was ultimately towed to the dealer.
Left a light and made a left-hand turn when the transmission "disengaged. " (had revs, no movement. ) d3 would not work, d2 got it going again. Never could get it to work in d3 or d on the way home (about 5 miles). Stopped once and restarted the engine, but had the same problem. Left it sit for a while at home (2 h), and tried again; same problem. Had it towed to a dealer and left it there for a week. They used it for 39 miles but did not find anything.
