    I was diving on the interstate and these lights came on and the car beeped. I checked the tire pressures and now the car will do nothing. It says a problem with park. any ideals ? thanks Rxflash

    This has the look and feel of an inverter cooling pump failure. Your car may be eligible for a free repair under the special service campaign. The "transmission lock mechanism is abnormal" message is due to low 12V power being unable to power the parking pawl motor, or at least the sensor connected to it. 12V power would be low because the DC converter went offline when the inverter temperature became elevated.
