It needs to be changed. These cars require the Transmission Fluid to be changed every 30,000 miles. The good news is that the filter looks like a spin on oil filter so changing the fluid is almost as easy as changing the oil.
Additional InformationAutomatic transmission fluid should always have a little pink-ish tint to it, but if it does go completely brown, the transmission may have been running hot; check to see if the fluid smells burnt. An automatic transmission will overheat if there is too much friction, such as if the clutches aren't completely engaging or cannot completely engage under high torque conditions.If the transmission HAS overheated, you need to find out why.
Otherwise, make sure you keep the fluid changed. If the fluid has gone dark and it isn't burnt, take it to a shop that will perform a "power flush".
