Transmission fluid low or degraded, causing loss of hydraulic pressure when warm
Torque converter failure or stator clutch malfunction
Transmission internal failure (e.g., broken bands, clutch pack, or valve body issue)

What You Should Do
Check transmission fluid level and condition (warm engine, running, in park).
If low, top off and test.
If fluid is burnt or has debris, transmission likely needs service.
Inspect for diagnostic trouble codes with a scanner.
Do not drive; tow to a qualified mechanic for further diagnosis.
