Consumer Description

MY KIA NEW BORREGO 2009 WITH 5800 MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGH WAY THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 60 MILES AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE RPM WENT UP TO ABOUT 5000 WITH NO TRANSMISSION LOCK, THE CAR WAS STALLING WITHOUT MOVING ON THE HIGH WAY. I HAD TO REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PADDLE UNTIL RPM WENT DOWN TO ABOUT 2000 BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED BACK AGAIN AND THE CAR WAS ABLE TO RUN AGAIN, VERY VERY SCARY ON THE HIGH WAY. I WAS LIKE A LAM DUCK UNABLE TO MOVE. DEALER SAID IT IS A COMPUTER UPGRADE RECALL, AFTER THE UPGRADE, THE TRANSMISSION WAS SO ROUGH TO DRIVE, THEY SAID IT MAY TAKE 300 MILES MORE BEFORE THE COMPUTER ADAPT. WILL WAIT AND SEE! *TR
