Auto slow to shift into neutral from drive

I have a 2013 with around 108k miles with an automatic transmission. It just started this weird thing. If I shift into neutral from drive just as I come to a stop for about 4-5 seconds the transmission stays in gear and I can still accelerate. It will eventually go into neutral and not re-engage until I shift it back into drive or reverse.
Has anyone seen this condition? I don't want to take it to a dealership unless I have to.

 

Why would you do that? What’s the point?

 

I was coming into my driveway and was going to backup. I put it into neutral before going into reverse.

 

Got it. I thought maybe you were doing like every time you are coming to a stop. I bet the dealer will say wait till you come to a stop to change gears. I’ve never tried it so I don't have a comparison.

 

I did come to a stop, just long enough shift into neutral but I let off the brake and the truck started to drive forward. I'm afraid the dealer might come up with and expensive fix that may not change anything.

 

Possibly a bad gear selector switch. Can you repeat the issue?

 

Well I repeated it several times and again this mourning. But I had to drive about 45 miles RT today. During the drive I shifted it into neutral at around 35mph, gave it some gas but didn't seem to get he same response. I tried again in the driveway after the trip and didn't seem to have the issue. I'm not convinced the condition has fixed itself and didn't see a thread here that spoke to my issue.
Is there a way to check the gear selector switch?

 

Post that question in the technical section, I bet one of the electrical guys will answer.

 

Has the trans fluid ever been changed, even a simple drain and fill?

What you describe could be a symptom of a gummy valve body or check valve.

 

I would tackle maintenance items first. Service transmission with new filter and fluid (drain and refill not pressure flush) and go from there. The mileage seems about correct to perform this if it has never been done before.

I have noticed a dramatic improvement in transmission performance in changing fluid and filter on any vehicle.

 

I'll do that, thanks.

 

After rereading, there is a solenoid on driver side that is prone to sticking that you can check as well.

 

I'm the second owner but as far I know that service has not been done. I'll check with the dealer for any service history. Thanks.

 

I'll check that out, thanks.

 

Why go to neutral. Come to a stop and go straight from drive to reverse. I know you have to go though neutral to get there, but it should only be for a fraction of a second.

 

I agree but would still like to understand if I have a larger problem. Guess I'm taking it as a symptom of a larger issue that maybe I can do something less costly now rather than wait it the problem gets bigger.

 

Update, Dealer lubricated and it seems to have helped.

 

Sticking shifter cable. Get some light lube in the cable or replace it ... JMO

 

Spray your nuetral safety switch which is on passenger side of transmission

 

Lubricated what?
