When the car is first started in is reved up at 2000rpm. When driving 40mph & up or from third to fourth gear the rpms reve up to 3000rpm before shifting. Car also feels like hard shifting from first to second, lags when taking a turn and pressing gas at same time. Check engine light has now came on p0741. Feels like pushing the max when trying to get fast speeds. Also feels like when slowing down that the transmission is still in high gear and rmps are high. When stopped and foot on the brake the transmission still feels like it's trying to go forward. As driving on highway at 70 mph the transmission surges loses power at high speeds. I have been told the the torque converter solenoid is not operating correctly on the transmission which is causing these issues. This is also the same issue we have with our 2005 Toyota Corolla, same code same problems. This is a defective that seems to be the issue in Corolla automatic transmission.
