My car has been a really good dependable car, but recently I have been having problems. One note I came home parked it like normal next day got in started tried to go put in drive nothing would not move at all. Tried daily to move car, but transmission stalled, then one week passed got in car put in gear it moved like normal drove perfect for two days then boom same problem transmission stalled again. What can cause this problem the fluids are full?

Can you see if any codes are present and do you live in a cold climate?

Hey MULLINS106,

It sounds like the front pump is going out in the transmission and it might be time for a rebuild, check the codes like KOOLDADDY6 suggested first though. It could be a turbine speed sensor.

Please let us know happens so it will help others.

Best, Ken
