Hoping for suggestions everything runs to smooth.

The proper procedure to test it is to get a good repair shop to put it on a transmission capable scanner and see what is going on.
And make sure who ever checks it knows what they are doing or is certified in transmission repair.
Avoid transmission chain shops because they are replace transmission happie.
Lot of computer stuff on it and also a engine or engine sensor problem can mess it up.
May be simple fix or a hole transmission.
But say no to additives.
Also a good time to check fluid and filter.
