Sounds like it's going into "limp mode" meaning it won't shift higher than second gear. This happens when the transmission computer detects a fault that will damage the tranny if not fixed. Head to a shop so they can connect a specified transmission scanner and read the tranny codes. Don't like shops? If you haven't lately change the fluid and filter. Next I would change the input and output speed sensors.

First I should ask which transmission do you have? Any other symptoms no matter how unrelated you may think they are? Seeing a check engine light?
