When accelerating or slowing down my vehicle jerk even when I'm on the highway and have the cruise control set it will do the same thing. I would like to know what I need to do or if there is any kind of recall on this because I really can't afford to take it and have it looked at. I have seen multiple reports of the same problem and with all of the report I don't see how Kia has not done anything about it.
