Disconnect the battery for 10 minutes reconnect the battery then start the car and put it into the D postion with your for on the brake for 30 seconds then while still holding the brake put the car the N postion for 30 seconds still holding the brake now put the car back into the D postion for 30 seconds then put the car into the PARK postion and shut it off. Wait 10 second then start it and take it for for a test drive. Make sure the a/c is off and the radio,wipers are off while doing this procedure. This is called an adaptive relearn.

The RPM of my engine remains at 4000 while my speed is 120 km/hr

I guess that you have a manual transmission. If that is the case you have a clutch on the way out. Slow slippage that gets worse as the plate gets hotter. If an automatic it is possible that the overdrive is not holding due to low pressure in the box. Have a pressure test done on the box--- have the fault codes read. From experience 120 kph is around 3200rpm for most cars and the 800 rpm difference indicates that the o/dive is not working as it should.

RPM drops to zero at idling after engine accelerates when warm

This may been an ignition module or a MAF sensor, this car may need to be diagnosed using a OBD I computer code reader to accurately diagnose the problem.

Stuck in first gear.

Sounds like transmission may be in "Limp Mode" which occurs when problem detected in transmission, to allow you to get to repair shop and save transmission at same time. Have it diagnosed at dealer or transmission shop & don't drive it any more than needed until then. Transmission replacement gets very expensive so get it in to shop a.s.a.p. so it doesn't get to that extent, and it may turn out to be a faulty sensor or something minor.
