I've noticed that my Kia Sorento's transmission tends to slip when I'm driving at high speeds on the highway. It doesn't seem to happen when I'm driving in the city. Is this a common issue with Kia Sorentos? Is there something wrong with my transmission?
ReplyHi Sarah, from what you've described, it sounds like your transmission may be experiencing some issues with shifting at high speeds. This could be caused by a variety of factors such as low transmission fluid, worn out gears, or even a faulty transmission control module. I would recommend taking your Kia Sorento to a trusted mechanic for a diagnostic test to pinpoint the exact cause of the slipping. It's always better to address the issue sooner rather than later to avoid any further damage.
Hey there Sarah, I have a Kia Sorento as well and I've experienced a similar issue with the transmission slipping at high speeds. In my case, it was due to a dirty transmission filter. It's a relatively easy fix that you can do yourself or have a mechanic do for you. Just make sure to replace the filter with a high-quality one to prevent this issue from recurring.
Hi Sarah, I had the same issue with my Kia Sorento and it turned out to be a failing transmission solenoid. It's a small component that controls the flow of transmission fluid and can wear out over time. I would recommend getting it checked out by a mechanic to see if that is the cause of your slipping issue. If it is, the solenoid can be easily replaced and should solve the problem.
