The first thing you should check is the transmission fluid level. Does the vehicle make a grinding sound when putting it in park? If so, you can have a broken axle. Here is a guide to help check the fluid level, also check the images below.

If the fluid level is okay let's run the codes to see if any are stored. Please go over this guide:

Also, there is a chance the transmission filter has come undone from the pump. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
