First thing to do would be check ATF ( AUTO TRANSMISSION FLUID ) .

check the auto fluid is correct level and not have a burnt smell to it,check for any metal fragments in oil,it should be a clear red colour ideally,also check the selector cable adjustment is ok

ive got a car sales and only yesterday i got a new car in. it was a auto vectra 2.2 petrol on a 53 plate. i checked all the docs that came with it and in there was a bill for a new auto box from vauxhall. not sure if its a common thing to break down. check box fluid first then a good code reader may be able to read the transmission.
also there is a bill in there for an update for the auto transmission. try vauxhall as the may be a recall for the update, may have nothing to do with it but worth a try if its free.
