After an engine recall last year, I had transmission problems with my Kia Carnival and that was fixed October last year and now the problem is back.
I've been happy with the Carnival and over the years, it has provided good service to me and my work.
It's this recurring problem that keep you at edge and one may think its the dealer service dept that is not equiped for this sort of work.
Has anybody encountered this problem? It happens when driving that the auto transmission just disengages from high and only shifts from second to third. If you happen to stop on the lights, it does not shift to low gear so you end up down shifting to low manually (but still does not engage but stays on second and shifts to third and stops there).
Only way around is to stop on the kerb and shutdown the engine. Restarting afterwards seems to resolve the problem or get over it. Is this what Kia is supposed to do?
Makes me wonder.
