Transmission problem 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

my transmission will stick in drive or 3rd gear and not down shift it will go back to first gear after you shut it off and restart but will not down shift after it reaches overdrive what would cause this it doesnt seem to bother the transmission and shifts to reverse and park just fine it just doesnt like going back to first after reaching overdrive

Have the vehicle plugged into a diagnostic computer to check for transmission related fault codes

This sounds like the shaft speed sensor that gone out but to be sure we must scan the car for codes.

An autoparts store will do it for free.

Please let us know what happens.
