Highway driving for a few miles then gradually downshifts so that I need to pull over

I’ve got the e70 4.8. After a few miles of driving on the highway, the transmission will gradually downshift and slow down to the point where I need to pull over to a stop. Then when I try to accelerate, there’s strong resistance. Any ideas what this could be? I got stranded on the bridge the other day and had to get it towed home. It was a scary experience as the suv wanted to stop abruptly.
