You should check your ATF fluid and if you haven't had it changed in awhile you should get it changed at least every 20-30k miles. Old fluid and heat is not a Auto Transmission's friend.

Jumper cables/battery pack too in case!

My car has 284XXX miles and i take frequent drives from my state NJ to FL every few months hear and there. Never has let me down, matter of fact it helped a few people with their car on the side of the road with mine.. Im seriously considering slapping a AAA sticker on the side of my car.
Just keep some spare tools in your trunk just in case the inevitable happens.
Good luck, safe travels!
