Hi johnny:
Welcome to the forum.
How many miles on your '17 SXT? Are the batteries the original units?

Ok on the newer batteries. Have you changed the plugs yet? They were due at 100k.

Re your question, I'll refer to posts # 2 and 3. I asked if your batteries were the original units, and you replied they were new.
Batteries do much more than just start the engine on the modern vehicles of today.

Aging batteries can cause all sorts of electrical issues/gremlins. The plugs I mentioned are the spark plugs. If yours are original at 130+k, they are beyond overdue and could be part of your issue.

I think a recheck of the plugs is a good idea. If this goes away by shutting off the car and restarting, that points to an electrical issue as opposed to a mechanical one.

When the vehicle is stationary, there is nothing I can think of regarding the AWD system that would cause this.
The torque converter clutch not properly disengaging might. The rest of the trans would not make sense to me when stationary.
