You don't have a Valeo radiator, do you? More info here, with the tech bulletin:

My first guess as well. Check the radiator even if you don't have issues, and replace if if it's Valeo. Or at least mount an isolated transmission cooler.

Does it have to do with the fact that it was driven by your dad and the transmission may have to adapt to your driving style? Just a guess. Somewhere here is a trick on how to reset the ecu with the gas pedal.
