Your check engine light comes on while driving, and your engine then starts revving uncontrollably while losing power—you'll press the gas but the car barely moves. If you're on the highway at 60 mph, the engine stalls and your speed drops suddenly with no way to control it. This problem has happened repeatedly (15 times in 2 years). The issue likely involves a sensor malfunction or fuel delivery problem that's triggering the engine to shut down.

Your gear shift won't engage normally, preventing you from shifting from Park to Drive without manually forcing it by inserting a screwdriver into the shifter assembly. This means you can't put the car in gear through normal operation. The shifter mechanism likely needs repair or replacement to restore proper function.
