No problems with driveability until yesterday, I was driving home from work and a couple miles from home I stop at a stop sign and proceed, for some reason the car became stuck in first (or second?) gear. I hobbled home at about 25 MPH and 3000 RPM and upon pulling in my driveway I noticed the steering had become a bit tough. Now the check engine light is on and I'm getting nervous. Any input would be greatly appreciated. The car is a 2004 E320 4Matic. I did an oil change last week but I highly doubt that's relevant.
