So today i was driving home back from my friends house and i was on the freeway. Suddenly i see my speedometer needle drop to zero and my "break" light come but the car is still running. So i drove it all the way home. I turned off the car and turned it on and the needles did there thing so i was like ok let me take it for a quick drive once more the speedometer needle won't move past 0 and when i went to down shift i always rev up to the next gear. I lightly tapped on the gas and it revved up super quick. Anyone know whats wrong with it?

good to see i am not the only mad man creeping TN at this hour

ok seriously, thats weird, honestly cant tell u what might have gone wrong, maybe something with the ecu or wiring harness or some wiring got messed up, i would suggest take your car in to the dealership first thing in the morning!

Yeah i just got home. lol had to post to see if i could get help in the morning lol. I'd rather do everything myself.
I just read up on stories on google on other cars that happened and they all said its the abs module. And i forgot to mention yes my abs light did come on.

Same thoughts as well. I'd have your Local Dealership take it out, take it out for a test drive in the morning and see if its still acting funky
