Check your transmission fluid level. Make sure its full and red like cherry kool-aid. If its low fill to the proper level. If its brown/black and smells burnt you might get lucky and save the transmission with a transmission flush.

Ok that's good. Could be the module on the side of the trans but I would have it looked at by a transmission specialist.

No problem. Good luck, hopefully it's an easy fix and not a transmission rebuild. Happy Thanksgiving

I had the same issue. My reverse suddenly stopped working but it could still go into drive. I took it in and apparently the reverse gear was shot which completely killed my transmission... im having to replace the transmission all together.
