  1. Kia Cee'd Forum
    Hello! After a couple of years of usage our Ceed's automatic transmission started to act up. When under load (a little bit of uphill for example) at around 1500-1550 RPM it starts to "cough". It feels like it is caught between 2 gears, losing power for a fraction of a second in quick...
  2. 2014 - 2015 Sorento Forum
    Yesterday when I got my engine oil replaced, the oil shop guy pointed out that the rear differential is leaking oil. I have attached a picture that I took. Appreciate it if someone could help me guide me on what I need to do next. Is it a simple seal change? Can I drive while I am waiting to...
  3. 2016 - 2020 Sorento Forum
    I currently have about 85K miles on my 2016 SXL, having intermittent banging coming from the front left, especially when I am parked nose down, downhill and I shift into reverse from park, and better yet, if I even add the slightest excess pressure on the accelerator from a stop, i get an even...
  4. 2016 - 2020 Sorento Forum
    Hello friends. Hoping for some help here. My Sorento LX is all standard, 6 speed AWD - 65K with a recent transmission fluid change. On literally the first gear change of the day (or after several hours), it always hard shifts into 2nd, always. Does not repeat itself after the first time. Other...
  5. 2016 - 2020 Sorento Forum
    Hello I have read the forums on shift shock or large thud when shifting, but not with the 2.2 diesel so don’t know if they are similar. I have a 2016 Diesel Sorento in New Zealand with 170k kms (105k miles). I have a hard shift between 3 and 4th when driving normally. 3-4th is right as you...
  6. 2011 - 2013 (XM) Sorento Forum
    My automatic transmission is stuck in 4th gear. Engine light says P0880. Dealership says I need new PCM. Dealership also says it costs $3500, and that its back ordered. I bought a $300 refurbished PCM from FS1inc.com as per my VIN. Before ordering I confirmed with FS1inc that the dealership...
  7. Kia Soul Forum
    We recently had our transmission fluid changed on our 2015 Soul+. When we got it back, the engine would make a chirp/squeak noise if you punch the accelerator down. We were told it was alternator. So we replaced it and the drive belt. Still made the noise. Now it's doing it anytime you take off...
  8. 3G (2012 - 2017) Rio
    2013 Rio LX. 1.6L GDI 4-Cylinder GAMMA DOHC. 6-Speed Automatic. 108,000 miles. I'm experiencing a 2-3 shift slip/flare followed by a jolt/bang into 3rd gear. Has anyone else experienced this? Do you have any thoughts on this? Please advise. Many thanks.
  9. 2021+ Sorento Forum
    Anyone have a problem with the Sorrento when driving in reverse? It is not smooth. Clunky moving backwards. Going forward is fine. This is the DCT. Just wondering if this is normal.
  10. Kia Telluride Forum
    I recently purchased a 2023 Telluride SX trim in January 2023 after waiting for about 7 months. However, I encountered a problem with the car on the very next day after taking delivery. The problem has since worsened, and I took the car to the service center two weeks ago for repairs...
  11. 2016 - 2020 Sorento Forum
    ICYMI… The transmission has to throw a code before they replace it due to the electric oil pump failing. He didn’t seem to know if they could go by serial number. Strictly by trouble code. Push button start models are not the theft problem, just key start. There is an update available for...
  12. 2011 - 2013 (XM) Sorento Forum
    I have been trying to figure out what this is and why it's leaking I believe it's transmission fluid but not sure
  13. 2011 - 2013 (XM) Sorento Forum
    Hi All My Sorento has a damaged connector from the transmission valve body wiring harness. 2 pins are are broken. Not sure if it is possible just to change that connector part, or should the whole wiring harness be changed? Could someone please advise where in Gauteng, can I find that...
  14. 4G 2016-2018+ Sportage
    I have Kia Sportage 2019 1.6 crdi awd with manual transmission. Did someone know what type of gearbox oil I need (I think other engines (petrol or older diesels (1.7 or 2.0)), can have same gear oil type)? As I found, it should be API GL-4 70W (can anyone confirm this?), but in my region...
  15. 3G (2012 - 2017) Rio
    So I have a 2013 Kia Rio SX that I use for road racing. It is an absolute beast in B-spec/Sundae Cup classing. The problem is the gear ratio. The stock Rio 6 speed jumps from 2.04 to 1.28 from 2nd to 3rd gear. After having some help, I discovered that the Turbo Veloster transmission is 1.95...
  16. 5G 2022+ Sportage
    Hey everyone! Received my 2023 Sportage Hybrid SX-Prestige on June 19. Had to put an order in about a month earlier so didn’t take too long to arrive. Also got it at MSRP which was nice. Swapped my 2019 Honda Insight for it. Anyway, just seeing if anyone else has had the issue of an almost lag...
  17. 3G 2011 - 2016 Sportage
    I own a 2012 Kia Sportage 6-speed manual with 85K miles. The vehicle emits a soft chirping noise, similar to the sound of a cricket, when accelerating. The noise immediately stops when the clutch is depressed and returns when the clutch is released and the accelerator is depressed. The sound...
  18. Kia Carnival & Sedona 2015+
    Hello, I have a 2017 Sedona LX we bought used in August. My wife was telling me when we bought it that it would occasionally shift hard from 1st to 2nd gear, but it doesn't always happen. I've driven it myself many times, been in it while she drove many times, even took a 600 mile trip in it and...
  19. Shuma & Spectra (1997-2003) 1st Gen
    I have an automatic 2007 Spectra with 3, 2, and L settings. Say I'm driving on the highway and slam my shifter from D down to L. Will the TCU attempt to downshift to L and blow up the engine, or will it refuse a shift that would redline? I haven't been able to find any documentation about this...
  20. 4G (2011+) Optima
    My car was mid engine swap when I got the recall letter for engine issues late last summer. I called but there was nothing they would do since I didn’t have the sensor installed yet. I finally got the engine fully replaced, but now the transmission isn’t working. The car was at an upward tilt at...
