Description of the problem	Had car for just one month. I purchased a fleet car with 20k miles. This problem occurred at 24k miles. I was driving on highway at 65 mph, and the car started revving very high 6-7k when accelerating, where it's usually 2-3k. The car finally gave out (shaking and sputtering) and couldn't accelerate any longer. Had to pull over on the shoulder. I tried turning the car off and on, and checked under the hood. I drove the vehicle to my parents house close by at low speed trying to keep the engine from red-lining. I knew it was the transmission right away because of the symptoms. I am very disappointed because the vehicle is a new model, and it could have been a very dangerous situation. The car will get fixed because it's under warranty, but it really gives me reservation about driving it going forward. Such a critical failure is very dangerous, and will stay on the back of my mind always. I called kia and they towed it to the nearest dealership. I am getting a rental from them.
