sounds like "Limp" mode, have you scanned for codes?

I agree. Sounds like limp mode. Check all your fuses. When there is no power to the tranny it will stay in 3rd gear. Also check the connector to the transmission for corrosion. I have heard that its a common problem with the connectors becoming corroded. As well as damaged terminal connections from vibration and stress. Good Luck.
