My brother in law has a 2003 hyuandai sonata automatic, for the last couple of days it has been running weird, so first I checked all the fluids. Oil was empty I put in 2 quarts, only oil I had on hand was synthetic blend, the tranny fluid was good ran the car for an hour checked the trans fluid in neutral, all of a sudden the car slowed had no power and when I took off it was hopping trying to get in gear but the weirrd thing the car was pulling kind of fishtailing, today the car wont go in reverse or forward, please help

If the fluid is clean and full, you need to have the trans control module checked. If the check engine light is on, have the computer scanned to see if there are any trouble codes for the transmission stored. Based on your description, it sounds low on fluid or it sounds like there is an issue with the torque converter or front pump.
