**help**
Ok I need help!!! I have no idea what is wrong with my girlfriends jk! It's an 07 2dr and while she was driving it down a main street it just bogged down and wouldn't move.. the rpms would still rev up but wouldn't move... she tried putting it into 4wd and still wouldn't move. On cold nights it did have some trouble starting in the morning but it will eventually start, but sometimes it just won't start at all... we had it towed to the dealer and they hooked it up to computers and it did nothing... but the next day it moved again!! So I am lost. They said it was from putting bigger tires on it.. it has 265/75/17 so I called bullshit on that. They also said it was from the wind moving the tires while it was in park so it would lock the steering wheel and would cause it not to start either.. called bullshit again. So all they did was reset the computer and now it's fine again.. I would like to know why it just died like that so it doesn't happen again...
Thanks guys for all the help

The engine keeps turning them after 5 seconds or so it will start sometimes... Its not the fuel pump though bc when you turn the key on to just run with it starting you can hear it prime

Sounds like its the dam auto trans. There are so many moving parts that have to work with each-other in them if one acts up the whole thing will run like shit. You need to check the color and smell of your auto trans fluid. If its not nice bright red and smells burnt you have some problems bro.
