immobility

: Dangerously misleading! The vehicle might be hurtling downhill, but simply have no ability to control is movement

loss of traction
"Anyway. That's not the point. The point is complete and total loss of drive in all gears. I'll give the diagnostic rundown below, and hope somebody sees a piece I missed. As an aside, Doktor A has been incredibly helpful, and I'm hoping to gain some hive-mind wisdom to take the load off him a bit." https://sprinter-source.com/forums/index.php?threads/73459/
- All weight reduction mods - Stops car from sliding out on corners (inertia)
- Nitrous - Big torque multiplier, assists with loss of traction in all gears

failure of motive power
There are many points along the 'driveline' where a mechanical (or other) failure may cause loss of the motive power that drives the vehicle along.

In late May 2022, Ford issued a recall for the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E due to a unintended acceleration issue resulting from the powertrain control module functional safety software potentially failing to detect a software error, resulting in unintended acceleration, unintended deceleration, or a loss of drive power.[8] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_unintended_acceleration

Whenever the differential is slipping, there should be some energy absorbed by the differential, therefore a fractional ***loss of drive power***.
When a car is coasting you are always losing the power output of the engine at closed throttle, but not losing any power to the differential unless it is slipping.

I'm no expert, but I assume it means the engine is in gear and the wheels aren't turning.
