Your car is stalling and losing power during acceleration, and your wipers occasionally get stuck in the upright position during rain, blocking your view of the road. You've taken your car to the dealership three times for transmission problems—the first two visits didn't fix the issue, and even after a complete transmission replacement in September 2023, the new transmission overheated and shut down while you were driving in traffic, leaving you stranded in a dangerous situation. The transmission may need to be diagnosed again or replaced with a properly functioning unit, and the wiper system may need motor or linkage repair.

Your 2022 Kia Forte's transmission is slipping and failing to respond properly. When you shift into reverse or try to accelerate, the car may not shift into the intended gear, causing jerking and illuminating the check engine warning light. Even after the dealer replaced the dual clutch and reprogrammed the transmission control module, the problem persisted. The transmission likely needs further diagnosis or replacement to restore proper shifting and vehicle control.
