Default has anyone else had any similar drivetrain problems?

So a while back my car (08 xb 5 spd) gets towed and Im guessing they towed it wrong by letting the 2 front wheels drag. Since then my car will not go passed 4mph without bogging out unless i press the VSC button. It still worked fine so I procrastinated on getting it fixed while it was still under waranty and eventually got used to it like an idiot. Im pretty sure somehow the speed sensors are broken but im just guessing.

THEN sometimes when Im on the fwy the car will stall when im driving. I liturally have to re start the car while im driving it's crazy!

Now I have a new prblem...every now and then when Im driving on the fwy at normal fwy speeds my speedo drops to 0 for a second or two and i feel slight loss in power, my trans light comes on a long with it.

She has 30,000 miles on her and I've kept up with all routine maintinence, mobile 1 oil changes every 3k miles and everything else. The only aftermarket stuff I have is an intake and lowering springs.

I know its gonna cost an arm and a leg to fix so I wanted to see if any of you guys had any ideas as to what could cause this stuff.

Um, you have a 2008 with 30,000 miles.........? You are still under warranty coverage. Take it to the dealership right now.

That's all bad. Warranty check.
