Well, after searching across the entire country for a SX AWD and paying $1600 transport from MI to CA I ended up with a lemon that needs a full transmission replacement. Been in contact with Kia Consumer Affairs and we’re in a Kia paid rental at the moment while my case is resolved. I can’t even drive the car to smog and register. Please pray for me this is a painless process. The check engine light with transmission error popped up at 6 miles, they cleared it and it never showed up again so they sold it and it popped up for me at 62 miles after receiving the car at 52 miles. Any advice welcomed- this is unacceptable and unfathomable.

The new transmission came in but before that, Kia consumer affairs offered me 3 car payments as a courtesy but when they sent the offer it included a contract to release all Liability so I’d be stuck with this car and could never file as lemon suit which is basically extortion. So I didn’t sign it. The new transmission was installed with no success- the same issues showed up along with the same error code on mile 16 of the test drive. So the new transmission completely failed and I’m on day 22 and counting.


New tranny in and still same issues.

Kias are bad cars. You can put as much makeup on a pig as possible, but it will still be a pig.

A car is not something that you can design and build in a few years and it will come out near perfect. You need decades of success, tested design process, supply chain, experience, that these Koreans don’t have yet.

Your thread title is a tranny, as in confusing about what you’re talking about.

#Metoo, I was waiting for the bit about a transvestite taking a shite about an hour into a trip.

I have to admit, I was disappointed when it didnt happen.

Hyundai/Kia struggles with their larger cars.

We had a Genesis that was rendered completely useless by a lemon electrical system by about 45,000 miles - and that was after a new radiator, transmission, and about a dozen other things.

Didn't the Kia Soul have a problem with catching fire? I know a few people that have them and I think they finally did a recall.

No, they aren't. Sucks that this guy got a lemon, but I own two and have had zero issues.

I've had a Ford, a Ram truck and a Jeep that have had transmission problems. It happens.

I'm very disturbed to hear about this Tranny crap issue. I would notify the rest of the Tranny owners in Georgia and protest outside the factory. LGBT+T (+T = Telluride) have rights too!
