Auto Transmission shifts to low gear when it should remain in 2nd gear

My auto transmission shifts to low gear and slows the vehicle down with out me wanting it to go slower. This happens after I have made a full stop and then begin to accelerate and then slow down a bit to pull into a driveway. This has happened several times. It happened this morning again. It was very cold today [-2 degrees F]. I believe this has happened even in warmer weather. It seems to happen before the car gets up to operating temperature. I am in Drive not Sport mode when it happens.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is it time to go to the dealer?

Thanks for any help on this.
