What are the common issues with the Kia Sportage's automatic transmission?

I have been experiencing some issues with my Kia Sportage's automatic transmission not shifting smoothly. What could be causing this and how can I address it?

One common issue with the Kia Sportage's automatic transmission is the solenoid pack failing, causing the transmission to shift rough or not shift at all. It is recommended to have a certified mechanic diagnose and replace the solenoid pack if this is the issue.

Another common issue is low transmission fluid levels, which can lead to shifting issues. Make sure to regularly check and top off your transmission fluid to avoid potential problems.

In some cases, a simple transmission flush and fluid change can improve shifting issues. It's important to follow the recommended maintenance schedule for your vehicle.

If the transmission is still having issues after trying the previous solutions, it may be a more serious internal problem. In this case, it's best to take it to a Kia dealership for diagnosis and repair.
