There’s something unusual in our Kia Carens, particularly in its automatic transmission. After traveling for a few kilometers and the engine reached it normal temperature, I notice the following symptoms.

1. From full stop, the car is laboring to move forward.

2. At full stop, if the gear is shifted to either “R” or “D”, the car jerks - stronger at "R".

3. At full stop or in motion, if the gear is shifted to Sports Mode, the number of gear appearing on the indicator is always 3 regardless of the speed and even at full stop. It can be shifted down to 2 and back to 3 but never to 1 and 4.

4. While running and the gear is shifting, the gear slips before engaging.
