Are the transmission issues more prevalent in specific models or trims? I was thinking of getting a hybrid version.

I don’t know about the hybrid, but I’ve seen complaints across multiple trims. A comprehensive recall might be on the horizon if these issues continue.

That’s so annoying! I’ve found that restarting the car can sometimes help, but it’s a hassle to do every time.

The touchscreen responsiveness is also slow to react at times. It feels like I’m tapping on a brick wall!

Haha, that’s one way to put it! I’ve had to jab at the screen to get it to respond - very user-friendly, right?

I think the tech issues are part of a larger problem with quality control. I’m considering reaching out to Kia support.
