dont listen to superwoman. it could be many things, probably a throttle position sensor if its engine related or something is wrong in the trans, it really depends on what kinda car it is. i would recommend taking it to a local shop (NOT a stealership) and have then look it over.

it sounds like you have a electrical problem in your transmission, probably a speed sensor. when you get up to speed, your computer loses it's signal to the speed sensor and doesn't know what gear to be in, so by default it puts it in 2nd or 3rd depending on what kind of car you have. It stays in that gear until the signal is present again and the computer resets.
