My car won't move when I put it on drive but when I put it on 2nd or 3rd gear, I can drive it. Why won't it move on drive? Is it fixable and cheap to fix?

Can I ask if the speedometer is working? It sounds like you have a first gear shift solenoid that is not working. To be sure let's run the codes to see what comes up here is a guide to help and the instructions to change out the shift solenoid in the diagrams below.

Check out the diagrams (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.
