Replying to: sherwood55 (Aug 15, 2008 12:25 am) Don't know if this will help you but I had a similar problem with my 1999 kia sportage. I would find my passenger floor board with a puddle of water on it. My problem was the heater vent tube was clogged. I cleaned out tube and it no longer leaks. Good Luck

When I am driving at speeds above 45-50 the transmission will sometimes just downshift suddenly for no reason and get up over 4k rpm at times. I have done a transmission flush as well as seen if it read off any codes but the two shops couldnt find anything. I also noticed that it does it more often when it is cooler out rather than when it is hot out. I know this isnt normal and the shop just said drive it until the check engine light comes on. I am not sure if it is some kind of sensor problem or a serious transmission problem.   I have replaced the tps sensor, new radiator, air flow sensor, temp sensor and sender, head gasket, thermostat, water pump, timing belt, and all of the other belts as well (just mentioning what i have changed in the past 9 months). Also, I cant find any sort of manual or cd for my sportage. I am in the bay area in california. Any suggestions would help s lot.   Thanks Replies to this message: mattman88 (Sep 23, 2008 2:01 pm) scottkia (Sep 23, 2008 4:58 pm) mdehari (Jan 01, 2009 9:07 pm) beareagle (Nov 04, 2008 12:33 am) mattman88 (Nov 04, 2008 10:54 am) mattman88 (Sep 23, 2008 5:08 pm) mlgarbinsky (Oct 20, 2008 4:00 am) mattman88 (Nov 04, 2008 11:00 am)

Replying to: mattman88 (Sep 22, 2008 12:09 am) The transmission on my sportage doesnt slip or jerk so I am thinking that it could be the Transmission Control Module or some other sensor? Has anyone else had problems with their auto tansmissions? Let me know!   I just found an online manual so I have been reading through it.   Thanks Replies to this message: scottkia (Sep 23, 2008 4:58 pm) mdehari (Jan 01, 2009 9:07 pm) beareagle (Nov 04, 2008 12:33 am) mattman88 (Nov 04, 2008 10:54 am)

Replying to: mattman88 (Sep 23, 2008 2:01 pm) I have a 2001 Kia Sportage 4x4 automatic and I had a issue where at low speeds or braking the car would lurch or feel like I went over a bump. It ended up being the front hubs. It would lock the hub then un-lock and cause the issue even though the car was not in 4 wheel drive. I took the spring and slider gear out of both hubs and the problem went away. I don't have 4x4 now but in the summer/fall I don't need it. I'm going to get manual hubs so this won't happen again.

Replying to: mattman88 (Sep 22, 2008 12:09 am) I should rephrase my title, it is a problem with the automatic transmission not the 4 wheel drive. The problem happens between gears 3 and 4(overdrive). But thanks for your input.
#419 of 610 Fuel pump electrical problem by ktkane Sep 26, 2008 (1:16 pm)
My 98 Sportage stopped accelerating and died while on the road two days ago. Prior to that it had been shaking while stopped in traffic, less so when put in neutral (transmission is automatic). A friend found that there is no power to one of the fuel pump fuses and decreased power to the fuel pump itself. We tried replacing both of the relays but that did not help. We checked the other fuses near the relays (with the exception of the main) which we couldn't remove. They were getting power. The battery is adequately charged but on a previous occasion when I had the same shaking- when- stopped problem it resolved with a new battery and the car never just died. I am in no postion for an expensive repair. Any suggestions?

Replying to: crazedcommuter (Nov 27, 2006 8:12 am) I own a 2000 sportage,maybe I'm just lucky,but it has 235,877 km on it and no major problems (yet) check engine light is probly the computers for engine,and trany not communicating the conections are probly iether dirty or loose,it is also factery set to the oil change interval,1000 miles or 1400 km,it should rest on it's own,if not disconnect the negative battery cable then reconnect after about 15 seconds.
