this is not enough info what car/suv/van? is there enough oil? does it smell burnt? before you go for the big bucks, i would suggest a quality trans conditioner first without a change of oil and filter. this sounds like slippage of the "o" rings in the valve body. rubber seals get hard with age and may not hold the pressure when hot.if this improves the problem then change the oil and filter good luck

Check the fluid for dark color and a burnt aroma. If so, change the fluid and filter first, along with an anti-slippage additive, to see if that remedies the problem...it likely won't, but it might. Otherwise, as another poster stated, the OD clutch pack is going bad, meaning that the others will follow soon. Rebuild time for the tranny. Vehicles aren't meant to tow things in overdrive; that's the best way to kill a tranny before its time. That's why there's another non-overdrive "drive" setting. Hope this info helps.

Start by changing the oil and filter of the transmission. 90% of the time it solves the problem

the overdrive clutch pack/band is shot. Pull the dipstick and smell the fluid to see if it smells burnt.
This happens alot, especiallt in trucks or vans when they pull a load in overdrive.

Lots of possibilities --
I once had that happen because the lockup solenoid was shot. That's a $40 part that I could install myself.
