Is the vehicle acting like the transmission is slipping? High RPMs without much power and large lack of acceleration? In this case, there may be a low transmission fluid level or the transmission assembly my be experiencing a failure. Have a certified professional, such as one from YourMechanic, inspect the shifting issue in person in order to pinpoint exactly what’s causing the problem.
