| Description of the problem | While driving my vehicle on local highways during afternoon rush hours. My vehicle starts to strain to drive. It seems like the transmission has trouble with acceleration. If at a complete stop it strains to go forward. I have to pull over turn vehicle off set for about 20 mins. And it drives okay. This has happened twice this week.. On 6-25-19 pulled into a service station to have it looked at. Technician informed me that with my make and model that there is a problem with the transmission and this is a signed that the transmission is getting ready to go out. I asked if he could check the fluid level and he explained that there isn't a dip stick to check the transmission fluid. |
