Description of the problem | When cruise control is set or just starting the kia and going it will without warning surge, jerk, and jump. The rpm needle will show acceleration from 2. 5 rpm and it jumps to 4. 5 rpm and stays their for awhile before going back down to 2. 5 rpm. This happens without notice and not on any incline or declines, it's on straight aways. This also happens at any speed when the cruise control is set or when just starting the kia and going. It's not just on the highway when this happens it also happens in city streets. It first only started happening when it was cold out but now it's happening even with warmer weather. I've taken it to kia of duluth many times and always get told nothing is wrong or to just change the drive mode from smart to eco but it doesn't make a difference and it has been doing this since i got the kia which was 16 months ago. |
