sounds like either slipping, or somehow some fluid leaked out. Better take it to the doctor.

Are you saying that you put it in drive and hit the gas and it hesitates before it goes into gear? How long does it hesitate? And it just started doing it right?

Actually you can't fix it yourself so take it back to the dealer. Should still have powertrain warranty.

You just answered your own question. Neutral dropping is BAD!!! Yours isn't a manual car!

I think he's saying that he's IN GEAR but when he gives it gas, it hesitates then goes into gear hard...at least, that's what I'm assuming.

If you don't have anything that's modded, just take it to the dealer...You still should be warrentied.

Good advice asshat..

To the OP take your car into the dealership before it caues any more damage. It could be something minor but from the sounds of it, you might need a good deal or work done. Good luck!
