Was driving fine one day then all of a sudden go to shift the transmission into drive it tried taking off but stalled, then didn't. Some days you can get in it, and it'll drive for a while then goes out again and when you push the gas it just revs.

I would start by checking the transmission fluid level, this guide can help:

Next, I would run the codes to see if any are stored, please use this guide to see what I am talking about:
