Description of the problem | The vehical will not accelerate at freeway speeds and the engine rpm increases up to 6000 rpm with no or little acceleration when the gas peddle is depressed.. This also occurs at lower speeds, no or little acceleration while the engine rpm increases to 5000 rpm visible on the tachometer and heard from the engine noise. The transmission appears to be slipping or down shifting to many gears for the amount of fuel demand. The dealership witnessed this problem during a test drive and i showed them a vidio of the speedometer versus the tach reading while this problem was occurring.
