| Description of the problem | I have had my kia sorento for 10 months. It has been back to the dealership 4 times for transmission issues. On the third time that it went back, they decided to put a new transmission in it. It worked for three months. I was driving home from ky when the transmission started leaking. This was suppose to be a new transmission. Are there other issues with other cars??? |
