The Kia Sportage automatic transmission can experience issues such as being stuck in gear or producing rough shifts. It is recommended to change the transmission fluid every 30,000 to 60,000 miles to prevent problems. If the transmission fluid is old, unpleasant noises may emanate from it. A faulty torque converter can lead to headaches. The transmission is a crucial component of the vehicle and encountering problems with it is inevitable. Delayed shifting can result in acceleration troubles, slippage, shuddering, jerking, and gear sticking. Hard shifts are a concern that should not be ignored. Promptly addressing any transmission fluid leaks is essential to prevent further damage.
