Good evening, the vehicle takes a long time to go into drive and sometimes when you put it into drive it goes into reverse. Can you tell me what can cause this problem? Thank you.

I would check the fluid level first, then if that is okay, I would run the codes because it sounds like the TCM is going out which is inside the transmission, also please check these fuses in the images below.

Here is a guide to help:

Please go over these guides and get back to us. Check out the images (below).

Thanks for this information. I forgot to tell you that the vehicle also slams when it goes into gear. I scanned the vehicle and found these codes. Can you please tell me what these mean. Please see the images below. Thank you.

Thanks for the codes, yes, please check the fluid level first. Can I ask if the mileage is correct 47k? If so, I would change out the TCM. btw did you check the fuse in the image above? Here is the location of the TCM which has the input shaft speed sensor built in. I am not sure but if you get a rebuilt valve body by searching google it will have the TCM and shaft sensors with it and it might be the only way they service the part. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
