ensure you have enough transmission fluid, let vehicle run to warm up oil, block wheel and put transmission in neutral and verify oil while engine running, adjust as needed, if that doesnt work, possible torque converter mal function or shift solenoid, also check engine goes with a scan to verify possible transmission codes
