I bought this van a couple of days ago and it ran fine the first day shifted just like it should
I drove it about 150 miles or so ran beautiful parked for the night it was a very cold night the next morning I started it up no problem but when I put it in gear it wouldn't go anywhere in any gear then after about ten minutes it drove fine for about ten miles shifted fine and then again wouldn't go anywhere in any gear and that's the way it's been since Help!

The first thing I would do is check the transmission fluid level, this guide can show you how with instructions in the images below for your car.

Also, is the check engine light on? if so we need to runt he codes to see which ones are stored, this video will help you.
