Why is My Kia Sportage's Transmission Jerking?

I have a 2018 Kia Sportage and recently I've noticed that the transmission is jerking while I accelerate. It's not a constant jerking, but it happens frequently enough to be concerning. What could be causing this issue and how can I fix it?

Hi Samantha, there are a few potential causes for your Kia Sportage's transmission jerking. It could be due to low transmission fluid, a faulty transmission control module, or dirty transmission components. I would recommend taking your car to a qualified mechanic to get it properly diagnosed and repaired.

Hey Samantha, I had a similar issue with my Kia Sportage and it turned out to be a faulty solenoid valve. I would suggest getting that checked out as it's a common problem with this model. Good luck!

Hi there Samantha, the jerking could also be due to a faulty torque converter or a worn out transmission mount. It's important to address this issue as soon as possible to prevent any further damage to your vehicle.
