Tell us more. Auto or Manual? What have you done so far? How is the transmission fluid level, and when was it last serviced (Fluid changed)? ---

I’m going to assume it’s an automatic. Beyond @GorehamJ 's advice I’d suggest a bad shift solenoid. I don’t know anything about your transmission but if you’re lucky the solenoid can be replaced without disassembling the whole transmission. Go to a good independent transmission shop for a diagnosis and have your checkbook handy. You’ll probably also want to think about how much you’re willing to spend on an 11 year old car.
