You think this would still be a problem on the 2020?
It's been a while, but I recall at least one jerky downshifting complaint from an owner on here that was a later model year. I think that whatever it is that the "reflash" addresses was likely fixed after 2018-19; but you know individual vehicles and their quirks.
I hope so. It started a few days after I got the car and I will admit that I drove the car very aggressively in the beginning cause new stinger with 370hp but now I am driving much more civilized. Im hoping it just learned how I was driving and thinks it needs to be agressive but the downshifts are super hard.
This is a subjective judgment, of course. What one driver considers "normal operation" another thinks something is wrong. A video showing what you're talking about would be instructive to those of us following your story.
Ideally it would shift smoothly in drive and I can control it with manual shifting if i desire. It also hasn't always done what it's doing now so I dont think its "normal" per se.
don't know exactly what you mean by that but overall I love the stinger and i'm not getting rid of the car if that's what you are saying. Just looking for a solution to an issue that many kia stinger owners have experienced.
(he invented that phrase, by the way)
Haha no worries. It ain't gonna change anything for me. I will continue my quest to not have my girlfriend gripe at me for braking too hard when the car downshifts in eco mode. I think i've found the solution anyway.^^^Don't worry, it's only Cowboy in one of his engagement moods. Hah.
Interested to hear if that works for you.
None of that. The car looks basically brand new apart from the missing clips on the heat shield under the hood and the bubbling window tinting on the real windshield but 0 evidence of any mods I can find. I'm going to have an inspection done on it tomorrow anyway since I have 30 days to return it.
