Description:
My KIA Sportage Hybrid SX Prestige, bought brand new on 4/29/2025 and had 250 miles when I had transmission problem on weekend after 3 days of ownership. The car, when slowed down to about 30 miles/Hr, transmission suddenly shifted to neutral and the engine became dead. This happened 3 times within half an hour on freeway during the time of high traffic. I had to pull over and restarted the engine. I brought the car to the dealership on Monday, May 5 of 2025 and it took them 3 days to reproduced the problem to send to KIA service headquarter and today is May 29 (3 weeks and 3 days later) the car is still in the shop waiting for a new transmission replacement.
