Default Automatic transmission issues- PLEASE HELP

I bought a ti two weeks ago, and the transmission has been acting up. It only stays in 2nd gear (I do not want to try and rev it into 3rd-for fear of burning it out). Has anyone had this problem too? I want to believe that it is something electrical. I've checked the fluid level and it is fine. The car does it hot/cold. There are no leaks, and the car has 110,000 miles on it. The car was driven by a BMW enthusiast who told me " he just used it as his daily commuter and never abused it" The car shows little signs of wear. I do not want to take it to a mechanic because I am flat out broke. Does anyone know what it could be? Is this a common problem? THANKS EVERYONE!!
