When it starts, I shift the transmission into reverse it works, when I shift it into neutral it works but once I put it in drive it shuts off.

Good morning,
This sounds like the torque converter is locked up causing it to stall in drive and low RPM.

Are there any codes stored?

I would change the fluid and filter to start in case there is debris in the valve body.
