The car was not accelerating properly, the transmission felt like it was slipping, and the engine felt like it was going to die. Engine light illuminated. My wife shut the car off. She turned it back on and attempted to reverse to the curb, but the car began moving forward while in reverse. There was no prior warning, and the vehicle was operating just fine the previous day.
