Reported at 47,870 miles, September 2009 Crash

I was running the car in drive and go to take off and it feels as the transmission is slipping, with a heavy club to the car underside and then the check engine light came on and as soon as I tried to go forward it was as if I didn't have power. I try to take the car to be checked out and the light had reset and no code could be read. Then it happen driving at a faster speed the car just acted like it shifted to a lower gear and it revved up and then no power, once I tried to go again.
