2017 Kia Forte Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Kia's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for 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 light the load might seem. Defying your Forte towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my Forte's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2017 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 Kia Forte transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Kia Forte, potentially causing transmission problems.
