Is the trans fluid clean and full? Has the check engine light come on?

No I have not been able to check the trans fluid because I was told I had to lift the car to locate the plug from underneath. And yes the check engine light did come on and when I got it checked I was told that all four of my o2 sensors were out

Sorry, I forgot that the trans fluid is checked from under the vehicle while it is running. Yes, it needs lifted and level when checked. I would suggest doing that first.

As far as all O2 sensors going bad at the same time is really odd. Where did you have it checked? The reason I ask is because most part stores that do it for free don't have the scanner needed to read transmission codes.

Let me know.

I will definitely check that fluid and I went to an autozone to get that checked and that's what they printed out for me on those o2 sensors. I have one last question please I was told about a common problem with the battery acid leaking into the computer bored could that may be posed the problem also
