Why is my Kia Soul experiencing transmission issues?

I recently purchased a Kia Soul and have noticed some issues with the transmission. When I accelerate, there is a hesitation and jerking motion. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

This could be due to a malfunctioning transmission control module. The first step would be to have your car's computer system scanned for any error codes.

Another possible cause could be low transmission fluid levels. Check the fluid and top it off if necessary. If the fluid is dirty or has a burnt smell, it may be time for a transmission flush.

It's also important to make sure that your transmission is properly maintained with regular fluid and filter changes. Neglecting this can lead to bigger transmission issues in the future.
