Automatic cvt transmission has been slipping and unable to shift to 3rd and 4th gear. I have to place it into "n" when moving then shift to "d" then it would move but still slips when driving only in 20 to 30 miles per hour.
Transmission slips after about 200 miles on long trips. You have to stop and let it cool down before you can go on. Sometimes it may take 10-15 mins. Sometimes you have to wait over night before driving it. . When it happens the transmission will wind and you lose power with no warning. I caught myself in the middle of jacksonville FL on 95 when it happened I thought I was going to get in an accident.
When the outside tempature is above 90 the transmission fluid gets hot and the car will stop moving forward as the transmission slips. It also rolled backward down my steep driveway as I was trying to drive forward.
