Others are having the same issue

Interesting that others are having the same issue.
I don't think it is meant to happen, I have never owned a car before where you have to pull over and reboot on the first drive of the day.

It is always the first drive of the day but not every day. I "suspect" and could be wrong that the transmission fluid temperature is not being reported to the transmission control unit. So it thinks the transmission is still cold and won't allow the lock up to occurr. The reboot opens the communication and then lock up works for all drives for the rest of the day even if the car has been standing cold until night time.

Using auto stop start on, the reboot process does not occurr. It is necessary to turn off the ingnition and turn on to get the temporary fix.

It is going to the dealers on November 7th, let's hope there is an error message to convince them the car is not supposed to be doing this.

Today I drove 40km with the TC unlocked. It was not going to lock until I rebooted.
