Good morning All,
Yesterday morning it was very cold (19 F) and I was able to reverse out of the driveway. However, the car will not shift to D. It will only shift to P, R, and N. Would anyone know what is going on? Thanks so much for the help.

 

If it wont physically move to the D position then i would be looking at the linkage on the LH side of the transmission, seems a common issue on vehicles in the northern climates that have to deal with snow and salted roads.
If it moves into D but wont stay then its also good chance its the linkage.

 

I think the linkage is on the right side, passenger side for US models. But I second the above, the shifting itself should be smooth. It start to get harder to shift over time until things bind up. Then the shift module, which has the lever, does not match the linkage properly. So the trans and main ECU have a conflict about what position things are actually in. Lubrication usually resolves it, no need to remove anything. Just crawl under and spray some silicone lubricant or WD-40.

 

No its on the LH side.

 

Okay. But on my Lr3 is on the right side and its also on the right side in the Atlantic British video. So maybe some models are different. In either case, here is a video that describes the linkage that may be the issue.

I'm surprised its on the RH as i wouldn't have thought it would make any difference to a LH drive vehicle seeing how close it is to the exhaust in that video.
