Kia Rio 2017: Jerky gear change

Asked by Rehan

The auto gear shifting in my 2017 Kia Rio is not smooth, it’s a little jerky, and it’s only done 28,000 km.

It needs investigation, and because it is still under warranty I would urge you take it to a Kia dealer. It could be that the fluid needs to be changed, although it shouldn’t at such low kilometres, so perhaps it’s something to do with the driveline computer.
