My car is a 2012 SX with Premium Touring. This morning I went into the garage to start the car and drive to my store. I started the engine but couldn't get out of Park! After I pried off the little shift lock protector and pressed inside with a screwdriver (as described in the Manual), I got it into Neutral and got the car started. ALL the warning lights were lit on the driver display, and the car didn't seem to shift properly. I couldn't control the shifting manually. Rather than drive the car that way, I drove the two blocks back home and parked the car. I drove my MINI to work instead.
So, the question: Has anyone else experienced this and if so, what seems to be the problem? I called a KIA dealer's service dept. and they couldn't diagnose over the phone... they said to have the car towed to the nearest dealer by Kia Roadside Assistance. We had some seriously heavy rain last night in North Georgia, while I was driving home, and I'm wondering if something shorted out from water. Any suggestions will be welcomed! I really hate having the car towed if unnecessary.
