strangest thing happened today.

As i was leaving a parking garage, I briefly stopped at the lift gate where there is a little 20-25 degree uphill ramp and when I tried to move forward, the engine just stopped sending power to the wheels. It felt like I had brakes on (I obviously didn't).

Engine was fine. I've already done transmission cooler bypass (so no chance of pinkmilkshake).

After few moments, I got it working again after switching the gears from D to R to 2 to 1 then back to D.

Afterwards, everything worked just fine.

I need to check the transmission fluid levels, but could it also be the solenoids in the transmission beginning to crap out on me? I was hoping because I didn't warm up, the cold fluid level is too low.

Check fluid. Solenoids usually throw a CEL.
