If it dies right when you put it in gear. It would be the valve body or the torque converter lock up solenoid sticking. These can be checked and replaced with out pulling the transmission. The codes have to be read, Since it is intermittent, you have to use a scanner to look at history codes.
Not enough detail in description. Does the engine run, but car doesn't move? If that is the condition it would likely be the transmission. Check the transmission fluid level, and try all gears selections in sequence. Park, drive, low, neutral then reverse. Have it towed to a shop or at least a safe place to do the checking.
Check your Fluid Level, Shift to a Lower Gear (you could have broken something internally)... Please provide me with some additional information and we can go from there. If 1/3 gears work and 2/4 do not, then you have a failed Reaction Shell.
Watch out! You're lucky the violent lunging didn't happen prior to the light, as well as losing all power when the engine cuts outs. After this happened to me, the light was steadily flashing and the van would not go into gear. Good luck, I'm still waiting to see if a recall is gonna happen. Very dangerous.
Switch ig. on, ground the sender unit wire for about 3 seconds see if the temp. gauge moves, if so change sender unit, if not then it is a faulty gauge reader. also check instrument voltage stabilizer.
