Description of the problem	This car is trying to kill me. I turn on my car, feet aren't on the pedals, my rpms rev and sputter up to 4,000+ without me doing anything. Sometimes it will launch me a bit when i'm trying to back out of a parking spot. Sometimes i'll be at a stop sign or a red light, completely stopped, foot on the brake, hard. Cross-traffic flowing. Suddenly my engine revvs and my car lunges forward. Wtf kia? I've taken it to kia once and they told me its a transmission problem that's going to cost more than the car is even worth and more money than i have to spend. So now what? I'm going to pay for a life endangering mechanical problem that likely costs dollars and minutes to fix because the mechanic thinks its a transmission problem? Hopefully something is resolved before this car wrecks itself.
