The main issues with the automatic transmission in most Kia Soul vehicles are often due to a software glitch, although there may occasionally be mechanical problems too. The primary concern is the vehicle's sluggish shifting between gears, typically stemming from an issue with the transmission control module. While less common, there can be mechanical problems too. If you notice unusual noise or clicking from your transmission, it's advisable to inspect the fluid level and appearance for any metallic or reflective particles, indicating potential debris.
The typical transmission issues that the Kia Soul often experiences are inconsistent shifting, harsh shifting, and delayed engagement of gears.
