The car will go into first, second, and reverse, but not third or drive.

Hello,

It sounds like you have a turbine shaft speed sensor or a gear range sensor issue but we need to run the codes first. Here is a guide:

Also please check the transmission fluid level as well. Is it leaking?

Please run down this guide and report back.

Cheers, Ken
