I have the LX model. My problem is when I'm driving down the road it runs and drives fine shift fine but like soon as I let off the gas go around the corner or stop and I go to give it gas again it puts itself into neutral mode. Which I have to pull over to the side of the road turn the key off wait a couple minutes turn the key back and start it and then I can put in the gear and take off. what is the problem? the transmission is fine. is it the brain or something else? I was hoping you could tell me.

Good morning,

I would start by changing the oil in the transmission. The filter is not serviceable with taking the transmission apart.

Beyond that, you would be looking at a transmission overhaul.
