HELP! 2004 xB Won't Shift Into Overdrive

I have a 2004 xB 1.5l Automatic. I have owned for about a year and lately I have had tons of trouble with it not shifting into 4th/Overdrive. It just happens randomly. This really sucks for me since It is all highway to travel to work and I am pinned at 3300 rpm trying to at least do the speed limit so others don't run me over. I know this is hurting my car

and tearing it up. What is the problem?

Also my car has started to sound like a moped like there is a leak somewhere in the muffler under the motor. Makes me feel like someone is pulling me from behind and I can't accelerate. This an easy fix?

Is the low temp light on or off when this happens? I know if it is on the car will not go into overdrive. Possible that there might be a problem with the temp sensor. I would recommend taking it to a shop that has a scanner to pull more in depth codes to see if anything is popping up.
