Can anyone explain what these may mean? I came to a slow stop at red light. Light just came on suddenly. No big symptoms.
A little front brake squeak when stepping on brake to start up and move. I was able to return the 1.5 miles to home at 10mph.

    It could be many things, unfortunately and without experiencing the problem first hand or being able to do some basic diagnostic tests its hard to say. Would need to attach a scan tool to see what codes are stored in the computer of your car. Did the car go into limp home mode/loose power? I have seen a lot of transmission problems but would need to see what codes are stored in the computer before jumping to conclusions.
