“We tried turning the car on. The lights started blinking rapidly the. It said the traction control was off. Even though we did not turn it off. We jump started the car and it went on but only for the dashboard to say 'transmission malfunction service now'. When driving on the street and freeway to the next exit. It felt and sound like the engine is revving the entire time no matter what speed. The RPM is running high going straight past 3”
