If your vehicle is in limp mode, there is a problem with a sensor and the transmission is trying to protect itself while allowing you to get home or to a shop.

When this happens, you need to have the trans control module (TCM) scanned to identify where the problem is coming from.

Have that done and let me know what you find.
