Hello,
It sounds as if your Automatic Transmission is having issues. The first thing to do is check the Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF). This is covered in the Owner's Manual (should be in your glovebox??).
If the level is low, it will cause issues. Your ATF should be serviced every 30,000 miles.
I am thinking that a battery terminal was loose and the mechanic just tightened it up with out bothering to mention it. Ask as to what was actually done to put your mind at ease.
Since you said that you drove through water paddle surely water splashed into the engine compartment,where the main wiring plug of the automatic gear box is. You c\n find it easy is between the radiator fan and the gear box on the top of the gear box. Disconnect it and use a contact cleaner spray by spraying into the connectors both faces.
sounds like you may have a problem with the TPS(throttle position sensor). the tps sends voltage to the ECM and TCM to control shift points. I would check the voltage on that sensor first to find out if the voltage is dropping out.
first you need to isolate the problem whether it is fuel or ignition related. if there is no-spark when it quits then it's in the ignition, if there is no gas when it happens then it's in the fuel system.
if the ignition system then you have to check the coil and distributor ( the igniter in the distributor is known for cutting off and restart after it cool down ).
if the fuel system then you need to check the fuel pump relay and the fuel pump for defective.
good luck
There is a slot to the right of the gear shift. All you have to do is put your key in this slot, push all the way in and this will release the gear shifter for park to any gear selected
