I have a '07 TL and i was pulling into my garage, had braked waiting for the door to go up....when I took my foot off of the brake to use the gas, my car went no where....when i gave the car gas, it just sat there as if it were in nuetral....i had not touched my gear shifter at all! I put the car in park and then I put it back in drive and the car was able to drive....before this had happened...i was stopped at a stoplight and i felt a big kick (like i thought someone rear ended me, but no one was behind me)...i noticed my car seemed to have tried to shut off b/c the radio clicked off for a split second! Has any one else had this problem? What did you do?? I have automatic transmission by the way.

 

sounds like a tranny problem to me

 

nah i dont think its a tranny problem, it happens to me too... if i hold the brake for a good minute it doesnt move. it does not happen often,only when im on hilly spots.

 

have you taken it to the dealer to have them look at the problem?

 

Nope, it rarely happens.. It's not of a big deal to me.. Does it happen all the time for u?

 

only other thing i can think of

its pretty common on the 3G, that the parking brake "sticks" to the rear.... but... once you apply some throttle, it should start moving...

 

Do the RPM's of the motor increase when you push the gas, or does it just stay level like it's idling?

 

It happened 2x yesterday...for the first time...I could have sat there all day with my foot on the gas and it wouldn't have gone anywhere...it was like the car was in nuetral, but it was for sure in drive!! I just don't want it to turn into a bigger problem...well, mainly before my warranty is up!

 

Yup, you are correct.. Btw nice 4g

 

^ good question... no RPMs = bigger problem then u think....

thanks... nobody likes it yet... but they'll see... i'll show everybody

 

The RPMs did increase

 

How about starting with the basics..... How's the fluid level??

 

Fluid level is fine! It has now been 2 days since it happened and it hasn't happened since! I have to take it into the dealer to get the speakers fixed...so I guess I will just mention it to them!
