How do I troubleshoot the automatic transmission on my Kia Sorento?

I have a 2018 Kia Sorento and I've been noticing some issues with the automatic transmission. It seems to be shifting gears roughly and sometimes it hesitates before shifting. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

First, make sure that your transmission fluid levels are correct. Low fluid levels can cause these types of issues. If the fluid is low, top it off and see if that helps.

If your fluid levels are fine, then there could be an issue with the transmission solenoids. These are responsible for controlling the shifting of gears. It's best to take your car to a mechanic to have them diagnose and replace any faulty solenoids.

Another possible issue could be a clogged transmission filter. This can prevent proper fluid flow and cause shifting issues. You can try replacing the filter yourself, but it's recommended to have a professional do it.
