GT-Line 2.0, 2681 miles, build date 06/19. I was traveling at 75mph when the RPM's started surging about 300 back and forth in the standard Auto mode. It went away in Manual shift mode. My gas mileage was showing 21 mpg. I proceeded for about 30 more miles in Manual (7th) then the RPM's redlined. I was able to pull over. I let it sit 5 minutes and made it 2 miles on the shoulder of the interstate to the next exit at about 30 to 40mph in Auto mode.Â
That is all it would do. It was a slight climb after the ramp. The Soul struggled. I tried to shift into manual and it says it is in 5th, and it will not shift. I figured I would add this while currently waiting for the tow. This Soul was NEVER driven hard. It was about 95% highway miles. There were no signs of failure before this. This happened quickly. Soul was towed to nearest dealership (three hours from home) using Kia’s roadside assistance. We had to rent a vehicle to drive home. The official diagnosis is transmission failure and there’s an estimated 6-8 week wait for it to arrive at the dealership.
