2011 Kia Forte Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Kia? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Kia Forte? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your Forte towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Forte is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Forte's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2011 Forte’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Kia's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Kia Forte leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Kia Forte, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.

You might even experience transmission failure.
