05TL transmission problem

Hey, I'm new. I bought an 05 TL & I love it but when I start my car, warm it up for about 5min, gas to the corner to brake & make a left or right, my car completely goes into neutral (without moving it to neutral) then I have to put it in reverse to get Drive to work again. Need help y'all.

Welcome to the forums.

Since this is a topic/technical issue which will require replies and discussion, and not an introduction, this thread has been moved from the New Member Introductions forum to the model specific forum for better response.

Two comments:
  • Letting your car warm up for five minutes is not being kind to your engine; it is far better to start the engine, snap on your seat belt, then drive the car conservatively until it is warmed up.
  • Regarding your transmission issues, it sounds like your ATF might be low. Since you just bought the car, it is HIGHLY advisable for you to have the ATF drained and replaced three times and have the 3rd and 4th gear pressure sensors swapped.
