My wife was driving our 2003 Pontiac Vibe automatic. The car has about 312,000 miles on it. She realized she had passed where she needed to be, so she turned into a parking lot and was kind of turning a left-hand u-turn and when she went to come out of the turn she realized pushing on the gas didn't make the car go any faster. She pulled into a parking spot and park the car. Basically coasted in. Now the car won't do anything in any gear. Is there something simple electronic like a solenoid that can just cause the whole transmission to just stop working? I hadn't noticed anything funny with the transmission, my wife and daughter both said they had felt it act up on them though.
Fluid level is good.
I just don't know ...I'm not used to hearing of transmissions just dying before they start acting up.
