Consumer Description

I HAVE A TWO WHEEL DRIVE 2007 KIA SORENTO. WHEN I DRIVE BETWEEN 35 AND 50 MPH THE CAR BEGINS TO JERK, SOMETIMES VIOLENTLY. I HAVE TAKEN IT TWICE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THE DEALER HAS CONTACTED KIA ENGINEERS WHO SAY THAT THE JERKING IS WITHIN ACCEPTABLE PARAMETERS AND NOTHING WILL BE DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM AS BEING CALLED A FISH BITE. THE INVOICE FOR SERVICE STATES THAT "THIS IS NORMAL TCC LOCK UP AT LOWER SPEEDS LOW RPM IN LOCKUP." *TR
