1999 Subaru forrester. Vehicle transmission began having difficulty shifting into drive. After approximately 7-10 days, vehicle slipped into neutral upon braking. Took several minutes to get vehicle back into drive. 2nd instance almost caused a major accident. I braked to turn left and began my turn. When I depressed the accelerator, I found the vehicle had again slipped into neutral and I was helplessly coasting with traffic heading toward me. Luckily, the oncoming traffic was able to stop in time to avoid an accident. Transmission was inspected for a possible linkage problem, but none was found. A complete transmission flush and fill did not remedy the situation. Vehicle has since slipped out of drive 3 additional times (luckily no accidents).
