2002
Kia
Sedona mini-van
I'm sorry, I don't know the engine size
approx 170,000 miles
When we're driving, the car suddenly and randomly (can't see a pattern as to when it happens) shifts itself from Drive to 3rd gear. There is a "chunk" and a jerk when this happens - especially if it happens while driving freeway speeds. Car will stay in 3rd gear until you pull over and turn the car off, then back on again. (Simply shifting to park and back to drive has no effect.)
I would appreciate any insight into what might be causing the problem and what could be required to fix it. Trying to figure out how much $$ to save up for repairs!

Sounds like it is defaulting. You might want to have the power train controller scanned for trouble codes.
Engine size is 3.5L
