I own a 2011 Kia Optima SX T with the auto transmission and 2.0 turbo engine.Twice under heavy accelleration, once with the traction control on and once with it off, The transmission slipped into a neutral and revved up. It did hook up again after releasing the gas pedal and depressing it again both times. I don't know if this is the beginning of something bad or if it is some sort of switch or electronic control which is not working properly.
I find it hard to think it could be some sort of safety thing or protective setting with the car, particularly since it happened with the traction control both on and off.
Any advice or information from anyone which could help me understand or resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
