All About 2022 Kia Sorento Drivetrain Service

Your Sorento drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Kia, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2022 Kia Sorento to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Kia's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

When to Get Kia Sorento Drivetrain Repairs

Your Sorento might need driveshaft repair if you notice vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning.
