When I was in the middle of driving on a back road in doswell, va, after making a turn, the rpm meter shot up to 4,000 but I was only going 15 mph. As I tried accelerating the rpm meter kept shooting up even higher than necessary and the engine was making a very loud noise like I was driving 85 mph. I had the car towed and taken to kia where they said they have to replace the entire transmission. I bought this car two months ago and it only has 1,900 miles. It has been in the shop for a week now and kia has been very unhelpful in this process and have been very poor with communication about my vehicle. When I called this morning, the technician said he currently has 20 more kia Souls in the shop that need new transmissions and he doesn't know when I'll have my car back. I don't plan on buying from kia in the future.
