Good morning,
What do you mean it locks down in first gear? Do you mean it will not up-shift?
https://www.2carpros.com/articles/automatic-transmission-problems
How long since you had the fluid and filter changed?

Is the check engine light on? The throttle position sensor is a primary sensor for shifting times for the transmission.
