Description of the problem	When starting my vehicle in park, i put it in reverse, and it barely goes. It seems to lack power, or is being bogged down. It almost comes to a complete stop, and then it suddenly kicks in, and jerks you backwards very fast. It is scary because i could easily hit something or crash, because the car becomes almost out of control. You never know when it is going to kick back in either. I have taken it to the kia dealer, but they said it did not do it for them of course. So i am stuck with a car that is having a lot of issues. I don't have the money to fix them right now. I am not working, and the dealership that sold me the car ripped me off. I have already put a lot of money into it. It seems to do it the worst when it rains for some reason.
