Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Traveling on interstate 75mph, rpms started jumping up & down by 500 and a 10 minutes later the vehicle shifted down to second gear. This thrust us forward due to drastic loss of speed and the engine sounded like it was going to blow since the tachometer was red-lined at max rpms on the dial. I had to immediately cut out of my lane to avoid being rear-ended. The vehicle would not come out out of first gear after it shifted down to that. I had to drive to the next exit at 15 mph and went to a gas station. There i restarted the vehicle and drove around the parking lot and it would not come out of first gear. Had to have the vehicle towed to kia and they called the next day to indicate it needed a new transmission. The vehicle had 4900 miles on it and i had bought it brand new. If the roads were slick or a vehicle was immediately behind us or we were attempting to pass another vehicle, this could have resulted in serious injury or death due to it dropping gear and causing us to rapidly lose speed while traveling on the interstate.
