Sounds like the transmission is slipping, bring it in and have it checked out.

Before you do anything, is the check engine light on? If so, get it scanned (autozone) for free. If it throws a speed sensor code, or a TCM code, then most likely the tranny will go into whats called "limp" mode and is an easy fix. Those trannys have 2 speed sensors, they are magnetic and always get covered in worn metal from the tranny. Cheap part, around 30-45 each, change both. Input and output.
