You will need to have the transmission checked. Due to the cost of transmission repairs, if you have a warranty that will give you the option of returning the vehicle and getting your money back I would do that. It is likely they were aware of the transmission problem and simply cleared the code thinking it would make it past the warranty and it didn't.
