Is there a kick when you accelerate? Did you check the transmission fluid level at the normal operating temp.?

First things first. Please click user cp and edit details to add your vehicle and location to your profile, it's useful information when you're seeking assistance.

Second, more details, please. How many miles? What repairs and maintenance have been done...and deferred?

When did this start?

And any other symptoms?

Moreover, a better description will help. Seems and appears are guesses, explaining exactly what is happening is better. So when you press on the gas, does the engine rev up, but the car doesn't accelerate? That would be like neutral. Or do you step on the gas and there's just no response? Those are two very different things.

That said, the first thing to do is to check codes, that will reveal any faults.

Good luck.
