Shed some light for a newbie please...

Gave my auto 380 a boot this morning to beat out a truck on the way to work.
For about 40 seconds she was unresponsive not stalled but wouldn't get up and go. Then after That time she came back to life.

Was playing again on the way home from work, dropped it and she took off then when I eased off she stalled completely. Turned her off and back on again and seemed ok but I didn't want to push it and just limped home safely.

No CEL came on.
Battery is only two months old. Fluids are sweet.

Meh... :(

what happens if you select gears youself and use full throttle, same result?

I just took it for a quick drive to see. Couldn't get it to fault again either gearing myself or doing it auto.

could be gearbox oil over heating then computer shutting things down, but then you said there was no warning lights. This is just a rough observation, hopefully someone here might have had this happen before and know the cause.

you could book the car in to Mitsubishi to see if any fault codes were logged.

Thanks for your help!

Got it checked out to see what codes came up. Only registered something about my air con had a short.
I haven't had it happen again so fingers crossed.
