If that doesn't work, i just have to limp along until it decides to automatically shift which could be within a few minutes or longer. I've had the transmission replaced, but the problem still persists. My mechanic is at a loss at what it could possibly be. This problem…

The automatic shifter would slip out of gear. It states that it is in drive but when foot applied to gas vehicle doesn't move like in neutral gear. Taken to dealership nothing done.
