Asked by Cory Dec 12, 2020 at 10:55 AM about the 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan Crew FWD

Question type: General

We have a 2013 caravan and while driving at 55 mph if we go up a small hill
then the rpm will rev up and I  lift my foot off gas pedal then it goes back to
normal at top of the hill? What could this be any advice , thank you.

The transmission is probably downshifting. The torque converter can also increase the engine speed to give you more torque.
