Don't get it ??? HELP

[X52002]

Was on the HWY driving today when all of a sudden a felt like kick like I was rear ended but wasn't. Then on the dash TRANNY FAIL SAFE PROGRAM popped up then went away. The X drove kindy sluggish for the next couple of miles and when I exited the pick up was slow. I would give gas then it would just rev then catch on and go again. I made the turn and then it seems like everything went back to normal and the dash light went away. I parked the car at a friends and went inside his place....4-5 hrs later when I went to go home I got nothing, doors wouldn't open nothing, as if I left the lights on or something. Put the key in the ignition and get nothing absolutely nothing, no power no light no nothing......I'm puzzled, what should I do ? Should I try boosting it just in case I left something on or should I tow it to the garage in fear of causing more damage....???? Somebody help

Sounds like you have a bad battery and/or alternator. I'd fully charge the battery overnight then test it and the alternator. (the low voltage can put it in trans failsafe)

optima, bosch. fully charge your battery first and then check your alternator output. thats what it sounds like to me
