What owners wrote
I have had this vehicle for a little over two months. It currently has 1600 miles on it. The transmission was replaced once and I am still experiencing studdering and shaking. Have another appointment on 3/15. Even have kia customer service involved.
If I slow down then speed up it takes off slow. If I go up a hill it putts and when I drive it just feels like its puttering the whole time. Took it to dealership of course they didn't find anything but this is a new car I know something is wrong. I just got the car in march drove fine no accidents or anything and it's kind of disappointing that my car is like this but know one knows what's wrong.
