The power train in my car shifts very hard and it seems like it is going to fall out of the car. Have had the car in to be fixed by the dealer twice and tomorrow will be the third time.

I recently purchased a 2005 Kia Spectra which has a faulty transmission--a fact not disclosed by the dealership at the time of purchase. A visit to the dealership last week revealed other Kia Spectras have a similar problem with hard shifting and that Kia has the matter "under investigation". I need to know what's going to be done about the problem.
