The transmission is only 2yrs old with maybe 20,000kms on it and this is the first time this has happened. I"m going to run it for codes and see if anything pops up.

What to do...
The Thump is the part to be concerned about. If a wheel sensor is off or the ABS unit is failing then when it throws the transmission into Failsafe mode normally its just a quite occurrence vs a thump. In any case get the codes read first and see where that leads.
