This has happened twice now. Accelerating onto the highway, get up to around 100 km/ph and about 4500 rpm, then the transmission slips and the motor revs up????

Never had this happen on any car I owned? Wondering if it's a safety protection feature or a problem?

Any thoughts?

manual trans?

Sorry... No automatic transmission.

ooooh I don't know much about automatics but maybe one of the clutches in that system?
or is the fluid at the proper level?

Well had the car into the dealer and they agreed there is a slipping problem. So far they have adjusted the input variables( for lack if the correct terminology) in the computer. Tells the tranny when to shift I guess? Anyway, no difference! Get up around 100km, gradually press the gas peddle like you were going to pass someone, then the transmission shifts down a gear and then ZING!! Slip slip slip!!! Motor revs up and goes nowhere! Happens all the time. Other than that, seems perfectly normal. Fuel miliage sucks too... 9.7L/100km at about 50/50 city hwy

back to the dealer I guess.
