While sitting in line with brake applied the idle speed suddenly jumped up and car accelerated forward despite application of brakes. Without any change from me the RPMs suddenly dropped and car stopped again.

So even since I have had the car it sometimes would hesitate when I would accelerate and I would sometimes feel like I was pressing the gas and getting little to no actual response from the vehicle. Then a few days ago my engine blew with no warning sign, my oil and coolant were empty even though I know all my fluids were fine.

I purchased my 2017 kia souls base model on jun 28 this year from quirk kia in braintree, ma. After just 2 weeks this issue happened for the first time. I was at a gas station gassing up the car, once I was done, I turned the car on, put it in drive and the car would not move ' I was pressing the gas pedal and nothing was happening.

The manual does not show instructions on a kia soul manual transmission. The kia soul base model seems to be purchased as a kia soul automatic transmission without the upgrade. The manual indicates that the kia soul model has features and upgrades and does not even touch on manual transmission.
