I was driving my friend to work when suddenly he shifted my car out of gear. transmission made a loud grinding noise.car cut off but started backup but ran rough made it home turned car off and tried to start it, after several trys and battery run down will not start can some one help please! (single mom of 2)
Normally Shifting out of gear in motion wont damage much unless you revved the engine really high for an extended period. Shifting into park while in motion will make a ratcheting sound, but usually wont hurt anything. However the act of doing so may have tripped a fault in the ECU that makes the car think it needs to be in limp mode. It did just that and got you home albeit running roughly.
Have someone remove the NEGATIVE battery cable. leave it disconnected for a few minutes, then reconnect and jump start the car if the battery is too low. doing so should reset the ECU and restore normal operation. If drivable, proceed to a brand name parts store. they usually will reset your ECU codes for free. IF all is well this should fix the probelm. If something was indeed damaged, you wont likely be able to drive the car.

The easiest way to do that is to go to your auto parts store and ask for a hanes manual for your make and model it costs 20 to 30 dollars but in the long run any problem you incounter with your vehicle it will give you detailed instructions on how to fix it. Hope this helps.
