Car drives a little while then the transmission stops shifting gears

Hi:

Is the fluid clean and full? This could be something as simple as a partially plugged filter. When you turn it off, dirt can settle back into the pan. When it is running, the fluid circulates again and can cause the filter to plug and drop line pressure in the system.

Here are directions specific to your vehicle for checking fluid condition and level. The attached pictures correlate with the directions.
