If the torque converter clutch it not disengaging it could be due to contaminated fluid. Sometime a transmission flush will correct this, but it could be problem with the torque converter clutch solenoid. However, if just did a drain and fill, I have my doubts as this never removes all of the transmission fluid. You may want to take it to the dealer or a qualified transmission shop for another opinion.

Dan, I took it to the dealer (rather it was towed) after it stalled when I came to an stop on a hwy off ramp and two hours after it was off the flat bed they were able to put it in gear and drive it! I specifically asked them if it was the torque converter because there's a service bulletin on it and they said no. They kept it two days and told me to take it home. Ironically, it drove home fine (the same 35 hwy miles). Would a clutch solenoid cause intermittent issues like this?

It's defintely possible... If possible, leave it with the dealer until the problem occurs for them. That's the only way that they will be able to first verify, then diagnose the problem.
