Seriously need immediate help please!!

That's what happened earlier:
I was driving to the supermarket when suddenly, there was a weird noise that seem to come from the transmission or the engine and then the car kinda shift to neutral without it beeing in neutral! I try shifting it back to neutral and then to D, or 2 or 1 but nothing happens. After a few sec in other gear other than P, there's this strange clicking noise and the speed needles goes to 60 km/h and the odometer keeps on running but the car isn't moving. I also have to put on the e-brake if I don't want the car to move. Even if the car's shut and on Park, it still can be move so I need to put the e-brake on. And for some reason, the e-brake seems to be unaligned with and angle of like 30 degres to the left side. I have to add that last week the car got hit by another car in the rear fender, not to sure if it hitted the wheel though even if it looks a few degres inclined. It was a maybe 15 km/h accident and apparently, the wheel looks ok....Sry for the long description but I really need help.

Possesed?

Im sorry to hear about that ... I asked a couple people and they had no ****ing clue any ideas of even where to start with helping you about it ... they said bring it to the stealership and get it checked out. I dont know if I would go that far. I sure hope someone on here can help you.

Otherwise, if all else fails ... call Ghost Busters ... they might be able to get those bloody demons out of your car.

For real though, Im sorry about your car ... that would suck.

Sounds like your transmission just went out on you.

Either the tranny went or an axle popped out.

that just happened to my other car today also, but my reverse worked so i drove home in reverse lol but being a ford peice of garbage i expected it to go out at any time anyway. im just going to do a full rebuild on it because i dont want a used pile of junk i wanna know its done right. if you dont do work yourself i suggest calling around to ask some techs what they think is going on if it takes them to long to think of an answer then dont go to them. I got quoted $1800 on a rebuild from an auto tranny specialist but theres no way its worth more than $1200 or even less so im just gonna do it myself, might take more time that way gathering info and parts i need but it saves in the long run and i dont really need it running that badly -Ryan

Oh, and I forgot to mention that after I started the car, it only happened once though, the OD light was blinking. Can that help finding the prob?
