The Gear Shift Selector is stuck in Park. Being forced to use the manual override in order to drive, reverse or place car in neutral every time the car is being used. This is ridiculous!

Currently have 2013 nissan versa. Still paying on it cant drive it. Had first transmission 2018,2019,2020 and I an in need transmission again . I was told they are all defective !!! My vehicle currently has check engine light on it and as it wont go past 25 MPH. Please help me. Gas pedal goes in limp mode and you can feel different shifting in gas pedal
The last couple of months, I've noticed my car has been making a high whining noice-when I accelerate, the car also revs up to 4000rpms , driving on the highway at 65mph. Yesterday, 01/19/2018- my car no longer moved forward- as if stuck in neutral.I've also noticed that my back turn signal on the driver's side is out, thus affecting the front driver's turn signal. The front turn signal "clicks" qucikly. Everytime I turn on the left turn signal, my car whines and doesn't accelerate properly.
