When I start the car and put it in drive, I can push the accelerator all the way to the floor, and it won't rev up and won't go anywhere.

You may have a broken CV axle, or the transmission is bad but i would check the level and condition of the fluid and then run the codes to see what comes up.

You can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) which will work on most cars from Amazon.

here is a video to show you how:

Here is one for about $99.00 if you need it:

Here is how to check the fluid and a guide as well:

Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.
