  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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...
  4. 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...

    I have been trying to figure out what this is and why it's leaking I believe it's transmission fluid but not sure
  6. 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...
  7. 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...
  8. 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...
  9. 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...
  10. 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...
  11. 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...
  12. Shuma & Spectra (1997-2003)
    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...
  13. 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...
  14. 1G/2G (2001-2006) Magentis & Optima
    Hi all, I own a 2005 Kia Optima EX V6 2.7 auto, and yesterday ran into a few issues which seem to be transmission related (potentially sensor issues?) Car starts and idles fine, however problems arise when driving. Symptoms include: Shuddering/jerking from the transmission when shifting into...

  16. Kia Seltos
    2021 Kia Seltos SX AWD Will not go into reverse. Forward driving is a little sketchy like shifting a long time to get to the next gear. Question: would anybody know if it would be safe to drive 20 miles to the dealer? Question: as anybody else had this problem? And if if so, could it be a...
  17. Kia Cee'd Forum
    Hi All, I was wondering if someone might be able to help me with an issue I have with my Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDI from 2013. I recently replaced the reverse light sensor on my Kia as it was leaking transmission oil and has been for some time by the looks of it! No I want to either refill or drain and...

  19. Kia Amanti & Opirus Forum
    I have a 2005 Kia Amanti and it’s been having nonstop issues I know that there’s a restrictor hose on the car that’s discontinued causing the check engine light to stay on and I just wanted to replace the engine and transmission completely with something different to stop having all these issues...
  20. Kia Carnival & Sedona 2015+
    Hey all- I'm not even sure what to call this problem. Sometimes the dashboard display, where it indicates which gear you're in, will go blank. Just an empty circle where the 'D' should be. The van still drives, but you can definitely feel a difference in the responsiveness of the...
