Hey Barbara.

Sounds like the clutch could be slipping. A repair for this would need to be done by a qualified service or mechanic.

Then again, it could be as simple as being low on transmission fluid. Check this first.

I would take it to an AutoZone and see if their free computer readout will tell you anything.
