My partner was slowing down to enter a roundabout when it wouldn't engage again to pick up speed. My partner isn't 100% sure but doesn't think the car's rpm's were increasing when he accelerated.
Hi Dean, Nothing like that in first 31K but i have no reason to doubt your partner (it is easy to have self doubt in these situations). I'd be getting it thoroughly checked at next service. Don't suppose it has thrown any error codes via Autolink. That would be too easy.
Hi,Yeah, have had this happen twice when slowing down to merge into a highway lane, trying to then accelerate to complete the merge, the engine revs but nothing happens, seems to be in neutral/no gear engaged, I've instinctively moved the gear leaver right/left (to go between Drive/Manual) and then the gear engages. A bit scary when it happens. I've put it to down to the DCT's idiosyncrasies/confusion. This is my first auto too, miss the manual too!

Technology, great when it works, can't beat the simplicity of a manual transmission.

None never had a transmission problem over the 800,000km travelled across all of them... Our family first two autos having travelled 50,000km between them.. so it's disappointing.Best car I ever owned was still my old X3 Excel. Treated it like crap and it just kept going.
Guess I've been lucky. I haven't experienced this even once in 32,000 kilometres.

I remember the paper plates.

Hi Guys, Sorry to add another topic to this issue but its been bugging me for awhile in regards to the DCT as well. For any PD SR owners out there with the DCT. Do guys hear a slight rattling noise around the transmission shiftier when accelerating. From what I've observed it's audible from about 60KM - 80KM when your accelerating. I'm just finding it a little weird and worrying coming from a kia with the same DCT its weird hearing that noise.
