Going down the road at 45 to 50 MPH went to give gas wouldn't take it, made no sounds or anything. Sort of like a manual out of gear when you give gas. But mine is an automatic..

This is most likely due to poor transmission fluid quality or it is low on fluid. So I would suggest just servicing the transmission and then retesting the issue.

Here is a guide that will help with this:

Also, I attached below the process from the manual for your vehicle. Let us know if you have other questions but if this does not work then we are going to have to check for codes.
