Wrench Light and transmission slip
I have a 2008 FWD and was driving and the wrench light came on. I pulled off and the tranny was very slow engaging (slipping) when I began to accelerate. I stopped to check the ATF and looked a little low, went into the auto parts store. No Mercon V so i bought a quart of Lucas ATF fix. The wrench light went out and never came back on. Any suggestions ? BTW, 170,000 miles on it. Bought at 150,000 as a lease turn in from a local company so no info on maintenance.

What was the condition of the existing ATF? You may want to have it changed. If it hasn't been changed before 150,000 miles is the time to do it.

Sounds like you where low on fluid, unless the dealer can pull up a maintenance record showing that it has been regularly serviced. I would advise against having trans maintenance'd, reason being transmissions that haven't properly cared for and are acting up. Changing fluid will usually result in the trans not working at all
