    So my wife says she hit a curb last nite on her way to work, now this morning the car lost power several dash lights are on and the lcd display says problem on start up, and has a orange icon at the top left. It will only shift between park and neutral. The light on the power button wont turn green either. Currently I'm waiting on a tow truck. Any thoughts or suggestions on what could of happened would be greatly appreciated.

    Update: Problem solved! It was the 12 volt battery and it was on its last year of the warranty so that was a qiuck no cost fix. Thanks everyone.

    From what I can tell the right side of the front bumper is the only thing messed up

    I replaced the 12 volt about 4 or 5 years ago. The damage appears to be just cosmetic I took a look at the front end while he was lifting the car tho I haven't had a chance to thoroughly check it out yet. Could it be the battery?

    it's worth testing. if the wheel hit the curb, you probably won't see the damage.
