I have a 2024 Xline SX Prestige

At 105,000 the transmission became noticeably bad. Shuddering when up shifting and thunking when down shifting. Staying in 7th gear when on the highway. No recall so I am waiting for Kia to remanufacture a replacement so I can spend $1,700 plus labor to replace it. There are known problems, so think twice about buying one with an 8 speed.
