How does Kia drivetrain maintenance help save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

What are the symptoms of a damaged Kia drivetrain system?

Hear noises toward the back of your Kia Sedona? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

How often will I need Kia Sedona differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Sedona?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Sedona’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can you reset your Sedona’s malfunction warning light at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Sedona's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Sedona.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my Sedona?

If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your Sedona, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Does my Sedona drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Sedona’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Sedona forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

Care for your 2018 Kia Sedona to maintain its performance power. Follow Kia's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
