Default Tranmission went into Limpmode the PRND in the cluster became red,I turned off the car and started..

Default should be ok. if it does it again....

turning on and off the car wont keep working for much longer you might need to replace the tcu.. keep your fingers crossed and hope it doesnt happen again
