I was pulling out of a parking spot and when I put my car in reverse it jerked and I lost power to all the gauges. Then the windows lost power. The car goes in reverse and it moves forward sluggish but it starts just fine. What could it be?

See if there are any codes auto parts does it for free but you may have damaged a transmission seal or clutch plate however. If you can check trans fluid a lot of the newer cars you can't however.

A power supply source is being interrupted. It could be a bad connection somewhere and you need to have it checked by an auto electrician. If you are a DIY person, look under the hood for loose wire harnesses flying around.
