Car won't go into 3rd gear. Start off in 2nd gear then as RPMs rise move gear shift to D to skip 3rd gear or car will go in N and I either have to go back to 2nd or restart car if it doesn't go back in 2nd. What can I do to fix this? Thank you

This sounds like an input shaft speed sensor is not working or you have a shift solenoid that is out. Also, you should check the level of the transmission fluid as well. Let's run the codes to see what comes up.

Here is the location of the sensor so you can check it out. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what you find.
