Driving home from work on the I-95 South, I experienced sudden rpm revving and acceleration issues. I immediately notified the dealership and told them I was going to drop the vehicle off.

I barely made it off to the side of the road and turned the vehicle off. I then restarted the vehicle and had 0 forward propulsion. Reverse still worked.
