All -
It has happened way too many times now for it to be a fluke - my tranny in AUTO mode will really jerk the very first shift sequence after the car has been started.... let me explain. I have tried this sequence over and over, and it's repeatable...
After the car has been turned off, I can get back in and start it. Upon shifting into DRIVE (not the "manual" shift), I will strongly accelerate. I have counted the gear changes, and when the tranny goes from 2nd into 3rd THE VERY FIRST TIME, it will "slip". For about 1/10th of a second, the engine RPM will jump up, then the tranny will "catch" in 3rd gear, and continue to shift normally, either up to 5th, or up and down as needed.
Once this "slip" has occurred, it will NOT occur again during the course of driving. Once the engine has been turned off, and then re-started, I can repeat the one-time "slip". It isn't really noticeable IF I don't accelerate hard... but it's annoying as HELL when I do. I have seen other threads about getting the tranny "reset" or perhaps "re-booted?" All I know is that I will have to tell the dealer when I take it in for the first oil change... or perhaps I'll take it in sooner if I get pissed off enough.
Who else has experienced this slipping? As I indicated in the title, it is occuring with my 2010 SX, 2.4L engine with the auto tranny. Is this something KIA should be investigating and producing a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) about?
And for EVERYONE who has NOT done it..... do yourself a HUGE favor and sign up for KIA's own Technical assistance Website (it is the SAME one the dealerships and technicians use!!!). It's free, and can be found at:
