Have your codes check first..with the check engine light being on and all...First of all check the fluid level of the tranny as well as the condition of the fluid..sould be a deep red color..also check or change the filter...Lastly take er in and see what the pro's say.

Check that tranny fluid. You'll be able to tell if it's burnt by smelling it.
