asked by on August 02, 2017

I drive 30 minutes away from my home on the interstate without a problem. And on the way back I was at a standstill In traffic bout 30min and once the traffic got to moving my car was stuck it wouldn't go over 30MPH. I had to cut the car off for a minute to get it going back to normal speed. But once I got home I have not really drove it because once it heat up it goes into limp mode again. I need help with this issue? Never had a issue with transmission slipping or anything.

My car has an automatic transmission.
