I took it into the mechanic and they said the transmission axle was popped out. I have no idea when or even how that happened but he filled my fluid back up and i was good to go.

PHEW.

Glad you found the issue.
That's a strange one for sure.

What side was popped out?

Glad it was a quick fix!  Strangely enough, we had an Edge owner pop out the axle boot while replacing the LCA, same result.  Wonder why the axle popped out ...?

Pretty sure driver side

Good to hear the problem was diagnosed and fixed.

I'd double check that transmission fluid one more time.  Make sure the engine is hot, running, and you've gone through all the gears.  Check it on a level surface to make sure you're adequately topped off.
