Hi Bonnie. Thanks for contacting us today. A problem like this is probably caused by a transmission issue. In some cases, the issue is as simple as old or dirty transmission fluid that needs to be flushed. While in other instances, the problem is a bit more technical and will require an inspection by a professional mechanic to determine the exact source. If you’d like to have one of our professional mobile mechanics come to your location and help diagnose this problem, we’d be happy to help.
