2022 Kia Sportage Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your 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. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Kia tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Sportage’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my Sportage's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Kia Sportage’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Kia. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Kia Sportage transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Kia Sportage can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Sportage ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.

You might even experience transmission failure.
