It isn't a problem it just means that you have accidentally taken your car out of automatic overdrive. There should be a button on your gear shifter if it is the pull down type on your steering column, or if its in the center console it should be underneath the large buttton you press to actually change gears. If you click that button it will go off and that is how the vehicle is supposed to be driven.
The reason automatic cars have that button is in case the driver wants to shift the gears themselves. You can take the overdrive off and go into 1st or 2nd gear if the road requires it. You can even go into D (which would be similar to 3rd gear) and by pushing the overdrive button that puts it into the 4th and final gear.
Hope that helped!

Take it in. There is either a problem with your transmission or with the overdrive switch itself. Overdrive switch should be a lot cheaper to fix. I'm assuming the light not only goes on, but the overdrive physically turns off as well when the light is on.
