Default Power Issues..

I have a 2015 tC and the other day i noticed that i have lost all power in my car it still drives but every time i shift to go in to a higher gear the RPMs shoot way up to almost Redline. When I try to accelerate out of first its
pretty much a crawl and when I press on the accelerator it pretty much Redlines and when I finally get up to cruising speed after feathering the accelerator I barely touch it it Redlines the RPMs, doesn't matter what gear I am in.

Anyone have any suggestions to what's going on?

I'd guess your car is a manual since you said, "every time I shift to go in to a higher gear," but maybe you can confirm. If it is a manual sounds as if it's about time for a new clutch as it sounds exactly like what a slipping clutch would do.

Good call!

Better get that clutch fixed before you're stranded.

Definitely sounds like a slipping clutch.

Can't wait for mine to start slipping lol. I miss having a lwfw.
