Everytime my vehicle gets warmed up the transmission fails. Once I shut off the engine and let it cool down the transmission starts working. Please help.

Is the fluid clean and full? Have any warning lights come on? Does the transmission act as if it is in neutral when the problem occurrs?

Have the trans control module (TCM) checked. I think that is what is causing the problem.

Let me know what you find.
