Default Had a strange issue today...

Not sure what the hell happened with my monte today but I took my lunch break same as always, parked the car, came back about 30 minutes later started her up just fine no issue. Put the car in drive and i just rolled backwards. Put it back in park and tried again, same result. Did the same in reverse, but each gear was like it was stuck in neutral except for park. Obviously i hit the break to keep from rolling into the parking lot and my power brakes were gone too. at that point i just shut her off and started it back up and it was fine again. Never had this happen before... Should i be watching out for something or you think it was just a fluke? Thanks Guys!

Are you sure it started because it sounds like it was not running .&. rolled backwards..no power brakes , engine could have be off..

Check your transmission fluid and neutral safety switch.
