Description of the problem | I bought a 2007 kia sorento in october, 2007. The car only has 3,000 miles and has a horrible shifting problem that i am told all 2007 sorentos have. When the car is going between 40 and 50, it sounds like and shudders like a 10 year old beat up car. It is like it won't shift gears. The motor is extremely louder than the 2003 kia sorento i owned (wish i had it back). I am terribly unhappy with the transmission and shifting problems this car has. |
