Answer
Javier,
A bad solenoid is a common cause to your problem.  A malfunctioning overdrive switch or other related component can also cause this problem as well.  Low transmission fluid level can also cause shifting issues.  You may want to get a couple of mechanics opinions on your issue, as transmission repair can get pretty expensive pretty quickly.
Good luck!
