First thing to do is check the level of the transmission fluid after driving while it's hot. It could be low.

great advice, best answer would be "I always check my levels and keep them full."
next best.... I'll do that, and keep watch from now on...
these are terrific cars, but need a little TLC..

this issue is normally either low transmission fluid, or failing ECU capacitors
