Overdrive is used when cruising at highway speeds to improve gas mileage. What you may be feeling instead is the car going into passing gear when you hit the accelerator very hard. This is not the same as overdrive.

What would cause the overdrive off light to flash and not change to overdrive on a 1999 Ford Contour LX?
something is wrong in the transmission. It will have to be diagnosed. You probably have a bad shift solenoid in the tranny.
2002 Impala won't shift into overdrive?
I would say that it's a electrical switch problem and nothing wrong with the tranny itself.
What could be wrong with a fuel injected car that runs great but won't start unless you pump the accelerator?
coolant temp sensor
What is wrong with a 1995 Buick Skylark 3100 fuel injected V6 that won't shift into overdrive?
It sounds like a transmission problem rather than an engine problem.
What could be wrong with a automitic overdrive transmission that will not shift?
Depends on year of truck if it doesn't have over drive and even then maybe there is a vacuum line going to shift module on trans mission check and see and if so see if it came off at transmission and if not trace it up to motor
What is wrong if a 1986 Chevy Astro shifts into first and second but when it hits third it sounds like you are flooring it will not shift any higher?
If this is an automatic transmission, which I am assuming it is it will not work the same as a standard. Only drive it in overdrive or 1st gear.
Is it okay for a 92 Ford Explorer to not go into overdrive?
No, something is wrong.
What is wrong in a car when the accelerator is pushed and the speed drops and picks?
Throttle body issue.
What could be wrong as my overdrive switch will not work and the ABS light is on on my 1995 Villager?
If the ABS light is on, it quite possible that the computer will not allow the transmission to shift into OD until the problem is repaired. Go to a good repair shop or your nearest dealer.
What is wrong A 1994 Ford Escort will not start unless carburetor is primed?
could be one of three things either choke is not working needle and seat are worn and fuel is leking or accelerator pump is worn and not pumping fuel
What can be wrong if you can't get the overdrive to come off?
Take it in. There is either a problem with your transmission or with the overdrive switch itself. Overdrive switch should be a lot cheaper to fix. I'm assuming the light not only goes on, but the overdrive physically turns off as well when the light is on.
What does a flashing overdrive indicator mean What is the fix?
It means you have an electronic transmission control problem. Quite possibly a shift solenoid in the transmission. It will be impossible to determine a fix until the system is scanned and diagnosed to find out what is wrong. It could be your vehicle speed sensor.
