| In the past month i have noticed when coming to a stop and applying the brakes on my 2009 kia optima that the car jerks like it doesn't want to stop. i have had my brake pads checked and they are fine. i have however noticed that when i'm coming to a stop and put the car in neutral i stop fine with no jerking. i have taken it to a transmission shop and they have said that their is no problems there and have also called the local kia dealership to have the problem looked at but they stated that if its something not covered under warranty i have to pay $100 just for them looking at the vehicle regardless if they find the problem or not. i have searched the internet and have seen similar problems with this particular car but no information on what is causing the issue. | |||

| When braking at 25 miles per hour or less the vehicle has a very hard jerking motion. the way your vehicle jerks can make you overreact and it can cause a serious accident on the road. noticed that i was not the only 1 having this issue with this vehicle. went to 2 or 3 different transmission places . they all said the same thing that the vehicle needed some transmission work . then i looked online and found that several others were having this problem and that the vehicle just needed to be relearned or something like that. kia said they don't have enough people calling them about this issue therefore it is not a known issue yet i see over 20 to 30 others with the same problem . *tr | |||
