Ughhh. That sounds horrible. Take that in to a dealer asap. The CVT should be dropping rpms when you are near/at redline even if you were to continue flooring it.

It doesn't though I have to release the the pedal for it to stop doing that, I already took it to the dealership and they said how that happens sometimes. It's so stupid and I hate it when that happens,

WTF is going on?! Just stays tach'd out for a few seconds on its own?
It would've stayed out even longer if I didn't release the gas paddle, it's been happening more and more lately. Wish someone knew what is causing this

Are you tuned or have you installed any performance mods?

If they say it's normal, try another dealer. That's not normal.

Yes I'm tuned but this had happened before I was even tuned, it mostly happens when I floor the car from a stop

Flash back to stock first I guess and see how it goes. if it keeps doing it then go to the dealer.

I wonder if the pedal sensor is just faulty. Do you know someone else with a 10th gen, with whom you can swap their pedal into your car to see if that fixes the issue?

I did took it to dealer when the car was stock, and they keep telling me that's happens every now then, it was stock when it did that twice, then I just leave it

I've had my car since May 2017. When I floor it and it approaches redline, it does the fake downshift and lowers rpm EVERY TIME.

This getting stuck at 6500 rpm is not normal operation and the dealer you went to was more or less lying to you.

The thing is it doesn't happen every time, maybe 2 or 3 times out of 10, and other times it'll happen more or less,

I think I see what you mean. Seems to happen often enough to be of concern. I wonder if it has to do with pedal position. Does it only happen when fully floored? What about 90% throttle? I was just thinking that swapping a different known-working pedal in would be an easy way to eliminate a variable.

It happens when I floor it all the way
