2004 had a transmission TSB that you may want to check into if it has been done or not on your car.

If you have a 2001-2003, get a mechanic to check the transmission fluid level and condition. If the level is fine and the fluid looks good, some people have had similar symptoms emerge when their transmission speed sensor went bad (most of the cars that have this issue are ~120k miles old and haven't had good maintenance done to the transmission or over 200k miles)
