This morning when I went to drop my kid off at school, I started the car let it warm up for about ten min
The car was fine until I had to slow down before making a turn when I went to step on the race it wouldn't pick up I could hear the engine going vroom vroom like when you accelerate while the car is in neutral but it wouldn't pick up speed until I stepped on the brake and then it was fine again
There are no check engine lights on or anything
My husband keeps saying he has to change the transmission fluid but don't know if it's related to that

It could be. Have him change the fluid and check the pump pressure.
