Sounds like your torque converter failed and clogging up the filter, the filter is picking up the fluid and crap from the transmission as you drive it, when the filter is full of crap and can't filter anymore then it stop working, shut the car off will let the crap settle/sink back down and then you can drive it again for a little bit. Your tranny will need an overhaul with new filter and converter, and remember to flush out the cooler.

Could be the trans but I would check for codes in the TCU first. Then I would check the solenoids and there connections for issues.

Then, when was the last time the trans fluid was changed?
