I know a lot of people have had this issue and have resolved it buy un plugging the bcm and cleaning the connections with some qd electric cleaner and plugging it back in. The bcm is accessed on the passenger side of the center console toward the front the panel just pops off. While that didn't fix my issue, I resolved my shifting issues for about 5 dollars once I figured out what was wrong. I made a video going over that fix https://youtu.be/pWZ-KpWbRH0 Just a few simple things to check before you give up on your car.
