• Transmission slipping or jerking
• Transmission making strange noises

There are a number of things that can cause the transmission temperature warning light to come on, including:
• Low transmission fluid levels
• Dirty or contaminated transmission fluid
• Worn or damaged transmission components
• Overheating due to excessive driving in stop-and-go traffic or towing a heavy load
