Hello guys and gals! hopefully i get some help. I was driving my car and noticed that it started to dis-engage from DRIVE,,,i was driving on the road about 65mph and notice my speed odo was dropping speed(but i was on the gas peadal steady,) i didnt hear the car roaring cause the radio was blasting. So i stopped at the next red light and when the light turn green i was UNABLE to move forward when i press the gas pedal. I had to turn to car engine off and restart for it to go. I drove about 3 miles and the DRIVE (D) began dis0engaging again. this time i tried to shift into N and shift back to D, but nothing helped , I pulled over coasting and had to restart the engine again just to make it back home.
#1. I check the fluids and they were a bit low. tranny fluid ( i have them re-leveled)
#2. changed battery
#3. drove ok for about 2 days and the issue came back repeating what i said above. BUT THIS TIME it would let me make around the block before the shift dis-engaged. I parked it in the drive way and thats where it has been for about a 4 weeks. I notice to day i went to start it up and the BAttery was Dead?????
does anyone have any idea what this can be,,
