Q: I’m barely giving any gas and my rpms rev high and car won’t shift up, what could be the problem?
I’ll be driving and my car will work fine for the most part. I give the car a little gas while driving and than the RPMs will rev to almost the red line. I get my oil change and take care of the car but still don’t know what’s going on. With this low mileage and almost a brand new car, I don’t know what is going on with it. What could be the problem?
My car has 39766 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
