We use our van as transport on the farm so its OT but it is "farm" related.
My wife has a 2014 Kia Sedona. Been a great vehicle up until this point at 60,000 miles (warranty went out at 60K). Sometimes when she starts the van and puts it in reverse the van will be very sluggish - almost like the emergency brake is on. Then when you shift from reverse to drive it "slam" into gear hard enough to chirp the tires. Its as if the torque converter is locked up. It will do this then operate normally. The Kia Dealership had the car for 8 days and couldn't get it to do it. There were no codes and the transmission fluid is normal and at the correct level. We have had it back for two days and its done it twice.
It only does this as start up (which is also when you are most likely to use reverse). It doesn't matter if the van has been recently driven and parked for a few minutes or sat overnight.
This van has a 6 speed transmission and it can be manually "bump shifted" or simply put in drive and allow the transmission and computer do the shifting. We have only used the "bump shifter" the few times its been driven in the mountains (lock it out of OD).
