Description of the problem	My transmission failed while driving, stopping and picking up became unsafe. I took it into a kia dealership since it became dangerous to drive. I was then told that there was a tsb sa292 patch that was intended to prevent this exact issue. Kia is only willing to cover part of the cost.
