Transmission is slipping and wont change gears.
When vehicle gets between 40-45 mph, will not gear up properly and will not run correctly. Only does this intermittently, and you have to stop the car, unhook battery cable, give it a minute, hook it back up and it will run fine until the next time it does it- which could be days, weeks, even months.
Started driving and car would just jerk and then would go again and not go into gear. Only could get speed up to 20 or 40mph. Took to delaership and they satate I need a new transmission. Called froda nd they can do nothing about it and still owe on it.
