If you have an overdrive transaxle this is called limp in, it stays in 2nd. This transaxle was made to do this so any failure would not cause you to tow it or ruin the unit. Most transmission repair shops and dealers have a scan tool that can read the codes that are stored by the transmissions controller called a TCM, it needs servicing, this is normal when something goes wrong, ok justin
