"Service Engine Soon", REV, SLIP, VDC OFF Lights ALL ON!! and car wont pull!!!! help!

OK no idea how this happened. I drove my care a couple times today locally with no problems. Had it parked int he garage for a few hours. Went out and turned on the car to leave and this is what i was greeted with. The service engine light , AVS , REV and VDC OFF lights are ALL on and i basically cant rev the engine even in neutral. If i floor the gar it slowly climbs up and peaks around 5 k climbing VERY slowly from there. If i try to drop it into first it almost stalls because i cant get the RPMs high enough fast enough.

Anyone experienced this? PLEASE tell me its something that isnt going to cost me bank!!

Based on your sig, your car should still be under warranty. If that is the case, I would simply bring it back to the dealer to sort it out. Good luck to you.

Wow . . . Rodent damage? Good luck with your insurance company. I am quite curious how they will handle this claim.

Your insurance company will cover it (i'm an auto appraiser). It is also just a comprehensive claim so it will not count against you. I wrote a car that as chewed up by rats.

Yeah its not covered at all. cause i had the same problem this weekend and it didn't want to go fast or past 25-30 mph. Not day i disconnected the battery and 3 hours later reconnected it and cleared the tbs and other fault codes. Jim coleman said that it doesn't cover it if you have any aftermarket intakes or if your out of your factory warrenty.
