Troubleshooting Kia Sorento: Why is my car making a grinding noise?

I recently noticed that my Kia Sorento makes a loud grinding noise when I accelerate or shift gears. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

It sounds like you may have an issue with your transmission. Take your car to a trusted mechanic to have it checked out.

Check your brake pads for excessive wear. Worn brake pads can cause a grinding noise when braking or accelerating.

This could also be a sign of a worn out CV joint. Have a professional inspect your Kia's CV joints for any damage or wear.
