Some Hyundai Kona owners report experiencing stuttering or jerking when slowing down, which may indicate transmission issues, particularly with the dual clutch transmission (DCT). These owners have noted unusual noises, delayed engagement, and harsh movements during acceleration as potential symptoms of transmission problems. Additionally, common signs include strange noises, difficulty shifting gears, and fluid leaks. It is crucial for owners to address these issues promptly to prevent further damage to the transmission system. If a dealer suggests that the stuttering is a normal characteristic of the DCT, it may be wise to seek a second opinion from another dealership or a transmission specialist for a thorough evaluation.
