When I'm driving the car, it only runs until the 2nd gear. It does not shift to 3rd, 4th gears anymore.. What could be the problem? Thanks..

When was the last major tune-up and transmission service?

Try having the coolant temperature/throttle position/vehicle sensors checked out-these sensors inputs signals to the computer as an indication of throttle and governor pressures/overdrive- and in turn the computer commands shifting solenoids to provide the upshift/downshift/lock-up.
