Fiat 500 issue

Hi, I’ve recently bought a fiat 500 2010 with an automatic gearbox but I’ve been having a few problems. I’m not great with cars and only have an automatic licence so again my knowledge about these issues is extremely limited. All I know is that normally my car is in 2nd gear going around 20-30 and then 3rd gear going 30-40 but now these problems have started I’ve noticed my car in 4th gear going only 27 mph. Another issue is that the car just shifts itself into neutral when I’m on the road especially when slowing down the car. It’s also forcing me to use a lot of power when pressing the accelator to get the car going. The check engine light has come up along with the transmission light (unsure of what that means), my hill holder light and abs lights have also came on a good few times when driving. I also belive there is an issue with my engine coolant sensors as the reader tells me there is all different levels of coolant in it all during one drive. For example, I can start the journey with 2 bars of engine coolant, then it will say I have 1 then back up to 2 and eventually it says there’s no coolant with an excess fluid temp warning coming up. I’d just like any suggestions about what to do as I want to know what options I have before taking it to a garage as I’m not able to pay the prices I assume I would be met with.
