Hey guys, I'm new to the forum. I've tried to scour the forum to see if anyone else had the issue, but saw nothing about it. Also for some background - I'm not traditionally super knowledgeable on cars, so apologize if any of the things I'm mentioning come off uninformed.
I bought a 2020 Kia Stinger GT with 40,000 miles a few months ago and generally love the car. That said, I seem to have a sound at low speeds that seems a little off. I can't quite tell what the sound exactly is - but I would call it a hum. Essentially, when I am accelerating in a neighborhood for example at low speeds (or pulling out of a drive thru line) - it sounds like the engine or transmission is struggling in some way. This is usually in 1st/2nd gear. Versus when I'm accelerating a little more intensely - I don't really notice any sort of sound. (I drive primarily in sport mode)
Does anyone else experience this? Is this just a normal aspect to the car? Again the best description I'd have for it is a hum, not quite high pitched but like it's "heavy breathing" or something. Thanks in advance, and if this sounds nuts - forgive me. I can try to record a video of the sound as well
