Had to jump daughter's car this morning. She drove to the store and turned the car off. When she got back it in, it started but wouldn't let her put it in reverse. Thoughts? Transmission fluid?

I would check the fluid level first, here is how this transmission uses a see through eye to check the fluid level

Fluid Types

Updated by TSB 13-AT-011

Automatic Transmission Fluid Type

Type .................... SP4-M
Capacities

Automatic Transaxle Fluid

Capacity .................... 7.71 qt (7.3L)

This guide can help as well,

If the fluid level is okay we should scan the car, you can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) from Amazon for about $30.00 here is a video to show you how.
