OhareFred Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) You need to give us ALOT more information like engine, fwd/awd, mileage, have you had it since new or did you get it used, what maintenance records do you have, any check engine lights,etc. What you describe has nothing to do with it being an suv, car, pickup, etc. it’s likely a transmission issue.....

Summer Solstice Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 Get it scanned for the Check Engine Light code. It may be a simple sensor. Scan for the codes before doing anything else. If it is due for transmission service, fluid and filter change, do that after scanning for the codes. Only after doing the above, have it properly diagnosed at a reputable shop. If the estimate is for major repairs, get a second opinion at another reputable shop. OhareFred and jkeaton 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhareFred Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 Thank you for the info! As stated above, have it scanned for the engine code. Just because the light isn’t on does not mean it isn’t stored. Get the EXACT code when it’s read and let us know. ? jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryl Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 It could be as simple as a tranny fluid and filter change if it has been sitting for a year and never had anything done to it in the last 10 yrs. 2late4u, jkeaton and OhareFred 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're CE light is on, have you had it checked, or just ignored it? If your DJ isn't shifting, have you checked the fluid? Hell, did you get it checked before or after buying it, or just go by your friend's word? Is this your first car? Finally, how about some punctuation in your entry? This isn't texting.
