I had exaclty the same problem, until just today! It was the "Overdrive Relay." It appears to be a common problem. After looking for the part everywhere with no luck, I found some online for $80 + Tax and S/H. (and a lot of risk) I just stopped by the dealer and picked one up for $120.00 total, installed it myself (VERY easy) and I am back to normal.
