Transmission Not Go Into Gear Problems of Kia Motor Forte

I have a 2019 kia Forte that just a few weeks after I purchased it left me stranded because it wouldn't crank. Now my transmission is out and I had a horrifying experience trying to drive home after my grandma passed away. My family lives 2 1/2 hours away. Then the service department verbally assaulted me while I was trying to receive help. I was on the interstate when the transmission started going out. I was nearly hit several times as the car would slow down and not shift gears.

On 9/6/19, on my way back from a trip to dallas, my 2019 kia Forte (launch edition) started to randomly rev up on the highway. At first, I didn't think much of it, but then it started to lose acceleration. I tried to use the manual shifting, but no help. I pulled over and turned the car off in hopes of "resetting" it and it seemed to work, but when I pulled out onto the highway again it suddenly started to rev to 6-7 k and went nowhere. Ultimately, it would not go into gear and I had to have the car towed to a kia dealership 5 hours away from home. Kia consumer affairs was not very much help! my Forte is only 3 months old with 3,100 miles on it. I purchased new in June. Be careful with this car!.

Tl the contact owns a 2012 kia Forte. While the vehicle was parked, the contact noticed that the rear brake lights remained illuminated at all times without the key in the ignition switch. In addition, while the vehicle was parked in the driveway and the contact was testing the transmission shifter, it was noticed that the gear shifter easily shifted out of park without the brake pedal being depressed. The contact called crown kia st petersburg (5500 34th st n, st petersburg, FL 33714, (844) 921-3247) and scheduled an appointment. The vehicle was later taken to the dealer where it was determined that the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 17v773000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The vehicle was in the process of being repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. The approximate failure mileage was 69,000.

I bought a 2011 kia Forte and was having issues where the car seemed like it was dying after initial starting of the vehicle and sometimes wouldn't go into gear. After driving it seems to correct itself and I brought it into kia. They put it under a specific claim number incase the warranty went out it is still covered. A few months later the car started to not go into gear even more and issue of dying seems more prevalent. Now kia is trying to say it could be a number of things which are not covered because the warranty is up from factory, and the extended warranty they claim doesn't cover powertrain which last time I checked powertrain includes shifter/gear shifter. They are now refusing to fix the issue because they have no clue what the actual problem is but have seen the issue first hand. This car has less than 70,000 miles and 70% of the time you cant put it into gear. This is a major safety concern since it could pop into any gear it wanted to and if I am doing 70 mph and it decides to go into park it wont be a fun ride.

While driving and attempting to gain speed to enter the interstate highway in san antonio texas the transmission would not change gears and had to pull over. I then had the vehicle towed to a kia dealership 10 miles away. I am awaiting a call from them regarding repairs.
