My truck pulled out of the parking lot fine. Half a mile down the road it began to coast, I tried to step on the gas but it did nothing. The truck coasted to a stop while it was in drive. I put the truck into P and turned it off. Then I turned it on again and it started to drive again as I pressed on the gas. A quarter of a mile down the road the same thing happened, it coasted to a stop while in drive and pressing on the gas did nothing. I did the same thing, I turned off the vehicle and it started to drive again, luckily I made it home. Now the truck is parked at home. I have not driven it yet? What could be the problem?

take it to a trans guy and let him look at it. it may have an electronic problem. But make sure it's full of fluid first.
