Transmission going to neutral
Hi everyone, I have had two episodes over the past month or so where my transmission went into neutral on its own. First time was when I was creeping forward to park in my garage, and the other occurred as I was nearly stopped for a stop sign. Both times I was hardly moving. Car went back into drive right away once I realized I was in neutral and put it back into drive. Anyone else have this kind of issue or know if it’s a sign of a major issue? Car is a 2021 with only 18k miles on it. Not abused nor tuned.
thanks for any input!

You should get your chassis scanned by a MB Specialist or buy a LAUNCH Elite MB scanner for less than half diagnostic price.
Let us know the fault description shown in your scan. This is unlikely major unless chassis gets in a traffic wreck.

This means network disruption. Couple modules are interacting poorly to request attention...

Get a transmission fluid change first, IF that doesn't work, then it will likely be a busted valvebody. Same thing happened to my C43 but at 63,0000 miles. After getting the valvebody replaced, get a full trans fluid flush or else you might have issues with shifting 1-2-3-4 after..
