Hello and thanks to those who established this forum. We recently purchased a EX, moving from a lease on a Pacifica and love it so far.

Apologies for starting out with a question about a "negative" issue but wondered if anyone else has experienced issues with surging with gentle acceleration, seemingly while the transmission moves through low gears. I've noticed it while the AC is cranked so maybe it's just a strain issue but confirmed it's in normal mode and believe it should be broke in as we've put 500 miles beyond the nearly 700 that the manager at the dealership put on it.

Thanks in advance.

I have a EX also with 1500 miles and I have been noticing a slight surging. It started about 200-300 mile ago. It’s almost not noticeable then it kind of reminds you when you accelerate. I can tell you it was not doing this the first 1,000 miles. Something changed to start this.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, very similar to our experience. Please let me know if you decide to take it in.

Looks like there are similar issues going on... a bad batch of injectors from the factory seem to be the culprit, but we need more people to go to the dealerships and complain about the problem before Kia will issue a recall/campaign to fix it.

When accelerating the car is jerky

Make it three. Happens around 40-45; feels almost like the engine cuts out for a split second. Doesn't seem to be triggering any codes, and I can't reproduce it often enough to take it into the dealer. Make it four. Happens when lightly accelerating around 45-50 regardless of profile and mode...
