THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT MAY SUFFER FROM NOISE AND EXCESSIVE WEAR DUE TO A MISALIGNMENT OF THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT WITH THE RIGHT SIDE OUTPUT GEAR. CONTINUING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION LEADS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A WHIRRING/WHINING NOISE AND CAN EVENTUALLY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I AM GETTING THE SAME BUT THE KIA DEALERS ARE TELLING ME THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE AS MINE IS AN AWD. WHEN STARTING OUT A HESITATION IS FELT WHEN PUTTING IN DRIVE AND WHEN GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY A WHIRRING NOISE IS HEARD AND IT FEELS LIKE A VIBRATION IS COMING FROM THE CENTER OF THE CAR. *JS
