Well after a day of no issues i was driving went to park and i put my car into park the car died and reversed a little bit. it now won't turn over and won't make any noise under the hood. i tried jumping it but that didn't work and i tried to see if maybe the anti lock system shut it off but it's not that either. when i turn the key to the on position it says it's still in reverse and when i move the shifter it doesn't register on the dashboard. so my car still thinks i'm in reverse.
