2023 Kia K5 Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Kia's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Kia? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your K5’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my K5's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Kia K5 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Kia, so check with your technician first. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Kia K5 leak transmission fluid? Yes. Kia K5 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Who fixes Kia K5 transmission leaks? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair K5 transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Should I avoid driving my Kia K5 if there is a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your K5 if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
