High RPM in MY24 350
I noticed something the other day and I don't think it's normal but I really don't know. I was driving and I was listening for a sound I thought I heard from the engine. So, I floored the accelerator while it was moving for a few seconds.
Obviously, the RPMS went high (up to about 6-7000) However, when I completely let me foot off the gas, the RPMS came down a bit but then stayed stuck at around 5000 RPMs for a few seconds before dropping down to normal. It will consistently do this every time. Is that normal?
I'm pretty sure in my old 2017 gle (or any of my older cars) that if I floored the gas and let my foot off completely, the RPMS would return to normal immediately.

unless you driving over 110 in that thing, it shouldn't be in the 5K on the tac. more like 1900-2200 rpm in 9th gear. is this in Comfort or Sport mode. I'd have it checked out immediately.

The velocity at which you press the pedal tells the transmission what you want.
A quick stab indicates that you're looking performance, so it will drop several gears at once, into the performance range, which would be 4500 to 6000 RPM.
That quick stab seems to override any setting, such as Comfort, and the tranny holds the gear --- waiting for your next performance-like input.
After a few seconds, it returns to your chosen setting.
It's normal.
