I am retired and just bought a low mileage(24,000) Dodge Spirit. It has a couple intermittent problems: It shifts hard in to 2nd gear sometimes(it's an automatic) and sometimes won't go in to 4th or slips out of 4th. Letting it sit for 15 minutes or so will resolve the 4th gear problem. these problems happen only about 10% of the time. Any ideas?

You have a transmission problem, hard to say where its coming from-Check the transmission fluid level and condition if okay its internal could be a shifting solenoid/valve body, etc Have it pressure tested to find out more what's going on
