Hi,

It sounds like the transmission was slipping. Have you checked the transmission fluid level and condition?

Here is a link that explains how in general to check:

I attached the directions specific to your vehicle below.

Let me know what you find.

Take care,

Joe

Hi,

That is a hard question to answer not knowing what prevented it from moving before. Were you able to check the fluid level and condition? Is the check engine light staying on when the vehicle is running?

Let me know.

Yes, the check engine has been on for a long time now and the fluid level is not in Gauge position, and it smells bad. Could it have been that the fiber is burned? And if fiber has burn how come it starts moving now after parking for some months now. Thanks

Hi,

It's possible excessive dirt moved into the pan from the filter. If the transmission fluid is dirty, I would remove the pan and service it with a new filter and fluid.

Let me know.
