The transmission is not going into drive gear (D, 1, 2) when switching from P, N, R. another issue or the same, the car doesn't lock into gear but the engine is able to engage the transmission without availability of full power transmitted to the axles.
I can feel the transmission slipping when carrying a load (around 900lbs) in vehicle or towing (total trailer weight was around 740lbs incl. trailer with 2x passengers each 160lbs).
This would be the second time that the transmission would need to be replaced. The first was within the first three years.
As a background, I rarely carry load or tow but know exact weights since I manage a warehouse with measuring equipment.
