Niro Plug-in Hybrid EX Premium 1.6L Phev

  • Automatic transmission
  • 50,000 miles

The automatic clutch fluid on the Niro cannot be serviced at home. You an easily drain the fluid; but, when you need to fill and bleed the system, there is no bleed valve. The service manual states you need to hook the car up to a computer and run a program to bleed the system and the computer program you need is not generally available to the public. $200 for 20 minutes of work and $5 of hydraulic fluid. Had I known this, I would have not purchased this vehicle. Probably never going to buy a Kia or any vehicle which cannot be self serviced again.
