You need to get that looked at very soon. If they
cannot duplicate the problem (and they probably won`t
be able to),at least you`ll have it documented. If
nothing else, keep rescheduling service appointments
and taking it in repeatedly until they see the
problem, or let them borrow it for a day or two. I
really don`t think paying for a 45RFE repair (out of
warranty) would be a very good experience. It`s a
complex transmission. I hope this trouble that you`re
having turns out to be rare! The main thing you can do
is make sure the fluid level is right. Steve P.
