Yes, it will happens if the gear reduce fast from top gear to 1st gear. It will not happen always but intermitently. Same situation on your car? Hopefully you can share ur exp with us after sending your car to sc.

Ya it happened intermittently .... usually when you slow down your car and the gears changed like from 3rd to 1st gear (skipping 2nd gear).

Well, I haven changed any parts yet but if you looking at features and safety without much price diff. 2015 it'll go for the H vspec. Just my own opinion as I see with a few k difference (maybe less than 6k) u get 6 airbags, VSC. Same have GPS, rear air vent, cruise control and others. Then of course I am comparing kx with v spec with above statement, k3 of course is diff with more features.

Welcome to the kx group , then again lucky uvfor checking this thread b4 decision as I regretted not to do so b4. As to say my SA sucks bad, really took advantage of me being a noob in buying new car. No explanation, service, and I even asked around with friends after, all says my SA really the worst.

Any SA can give me the BEST current promotion for K3 & KX?

My K3 has reached 23K mileage. So far quite satisfy with the ride. But lately my cabin getting noisier as I guess is this MC5 tire causing the noise. Anybody experience it? Even I found sitting in my friend Myvi is quieter than mine!

Any Otai can share any more silent and comfort tire model by experience and what is the price range? I heard Toyo maybe a good one for that purpose. I guess mine will last not more than 40K.

from my calculation, cerato k3 1.6 new net selling price will be about rm93000 after gst compared to about rm96000 before gst..is it true? since the custom will return back the 10% of already paid sales tax and charge back 6% of gst..right?

exact same thing happened to mine.. while slowing down mine would either jerk forward or being pulled as mentioned.. sent in to PJ Red Cube and did some resetting, waited very much longer than 30mins.. so far the pulling force has been resolved but not the jerking forward issue..

Kindly check my PM to you. Thanks.

It's not a simple equation of 10-6 = 4% savings. For your information, the actual figure of 10% sales tax for Kia is quite low, whereas the 6% GST is from the selling price to the end-user (minus the road tax). From the information received, there might actually be an increase for KIA of between 2-5 K, depending on models. As to how the final prices will pan out, it also depends on whether the distributor is going to absorb any of the price impact so as to maintain some sort of price continuity and how it stacks up against the models of other competitors. The retail price may turn out the same, but maybe the discount will be lesser compared to pre-GST. Just my 2 sens, I stand to be corrected once the post GST prices are revealed.

I am experiencing the same as well but it only happened when the gearbox is cold. When its warmed up i.e driven for like 5 mins, problem is gone. The pulling effect also not really bad but I can feel it. My mileage is 11,500 km. Started feeling it about 1000 km ago
So I wonder, is this how it first started and slowly becomes more frequent and harder pulling effect OR is this normal and we have to live with it?
Appreciate if our otais could give some input.
Its a bit worrying when it comes to Transmission related issue.
Based on my experience with Pug 406 , resetting would not solve it.

Go to the SC and demand that they reset:

- TCU
- ECU
- BMS

Then you will need to take your car for retraining/acclimatization. The gearbox will relearn and adjust itself to match the gearbox's current nature.

More details in my earlier post but a brief run through would be:

- Drive your car from a stop, all the way to the 6th gear (typically around 110 is fine) on a steady throttle. And then let it slow down to a stop by itself, allowing it to cycle through all the gears. Repeat the procedure 5-6 times. Naturally you will need some empty roads to do this.

- If you feel shift quality is still not ok, do some skip shifts, i.e 6->4, 5->3 etc, but becareful not to over-rev your engine.

Doing the above solved my problem. But do not that the gearbox also has a mechanism that commits the final values only after a certain process. This bit I am not sure, but I suppose it would be pretty similar to the older one where you go from D->N->R->P->R->D or something. Nontheless, the essence of it is you will likely need to enter park approx 5-6 times. So during your driving sessions, bear this in mind and give the gearbox a chance to learn. Hope it helps

Thanks Bro.
So basically you also felt it when GB was cold and after warmed up there was not more jerky?
What was your mileage when you first felt it?
Which SC that you went to reset all those?
Wonder whther first batch of Cerato have the same issue.

hi, i just got my k3 last night, now im thinking which tint should i choose.

Rm500 smart cool or Rm2000 Llumar?
any advice?

I did free tinting from the given tint voucher only

On a serious note, my previous car i did a rm400 tint and had no problem with it, almost 2 years using it before selling it off

No worries man. Yup the issue normally happens when the gearbox is cold. After it's warmed up then it's not jerky anymore.

My mileage was 20K. It happened when I changed my ATF. So basically I just got them to do the reset and it was perfectly fine after that. Most important is the fact you need to reset everything, not just the TCU because the TCU takes inputs from ECU and BMS.

I believe all cars with some form of wear adaptive gearbox will eventually have this issue. It's just that, you may or may not realize it because it happens when something changes in the gearbox, i.e in my case, it's because I drained the old ATF, so the pollutants in there are no longer present.

Most SC should be able to do this. Just let them know you want to reset those stuff via GDS. Note that after a reset, you may still feel the jerk like I did, but that's only for a while. Subsequent times should be fine.

So you only did the full reset once and all is fine now.
That gave some comfort since I was worried that the problem gets build up from there and have to do reset everytime.
I probably wait for my next service (ATF change as well for 20K service) then I do the reset since the jerky feeling is mild and only when its cold.

Yup, so far just did one reset and it's fine. One thing to add, the TCU reset is actually called the T/A values reset. Just in case they get it wrong.

Actually I would tend to think if you have a chance you ought to do it as soon as possible. When I discovered it I went straight to the SC and ask them to look into it. The concern was it may cause undue wear and tear on the clutches.

The standard service interval is 40K. I changed mine at 20K at my own option actually...so it's not really standard procedure. But I don't fancy ATF with wear in pollutants going around my very expensive gearbox haha

may i know a good place to repair my car? it hit a cone at 140km/h. the bottom grille is damaged. I think the steel bar also bent already. I will claim PLUS on this issue, but i just wanna repair it with lower cost n hope 2 claim more $, bcos they said PLUS normally only pay us half the repair cost.

here is the damaged area. I think someone must have placed the cone on middle of road waitin 4 accidents 2 happen.
