Grand Caravan 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 645 miles
Car was put into drive, as I started to drive, I noticed the engine racing. I looked down and saw it was in first gear. I shifted to neutral and the engine raced, I engaged the transmission again and it slammed into drive and spun the wheels for a moment then drove normally. It has been accelerating while in drive on its own also.
