Why does the Tiggo 8plus transmission have a jerky feeling?

[PiperAnn]

If a car has a jerky feeling, it is definitely related to the two major components: the engine and the clutch. There are many factors that may cause the car to have a jerky feeling during startup and low-speed acceleration. Below are the most common reasons: 1. Engine oil passage blockage: First, focus on the engine. If the car has a jerky feeling while driving, the engine is certainly involved. The engine's ignition, air intake, and fuel injectors collectively determine fuel combustion, which is also the power source of the engine. If the air intake volume decreases, the ignition weakens, or the fuel injection reduces, the power will be insufficient, leading to a jerky feeling. 2. Clutch: For automatic transmission cars, a jerky feeling during startup is normal. If you want to accelerate quickly while driving, you need to press the accelerator pedal deeply. At this time, the automatic transmission will automatically downshift to increase the engine speed. When the speed reaches a certain level, it will upshift. After upshifting, because the speed will drop significantly, a relatively obvious jerky feeling will occur.

I've driven quite a few cars and also test-driven the Tiggo 8 Plus. I feel that transmission jerking is quite common, especially with dual-clutch transmissions where design issues might be a key factor. Dual-clutch transmissions aren't very smooth when shifting at low speeds or in traffic jams, which can easily cause jerking. This might be due to poor clutch engagement or suboptimal control software logic. For example, during rapid acceleration or when suddenly releasing the throttle, the computer might inaccurately judge the shifting timing, leading to body vibrations. Some people also report that new cars during the break-in period can exhibit this issue, which might improve as mileage increases. However, it's advisable to pay attention to driving habits—avoid slamming the accelerator or frequent speeding up and slowing down. If the jerking is severe, it's best to get it checked at a 4S shop. A software update or hardware adjustment might be necessary, as this not only affects comfort but could also damage other components. During regular maintenance, it's also important to check the condition of the transmission fluid, as aging fluid that isn't replaced in time can exacerbate the problem.

As an ordinary office worker, I commute daily in my Tiggo 8 Plus and have experienced jerking several times when starting from traffic lights or in traffic jams. It feels like the car suddenly hiccups. This could be due to the transmission not shifting smoothly in low gears, possibly because the design didn't fully account for urban driving conditions, or there might be hardware issues like a faulty clutch. I also think it's related to my driving habits—I tend to press the accelerator abruptly, and when the system can't respond quickly enough, it causes shaking. The problem is more noticeable during cold starts and might improve after the engine warms up. When encountering this issue, I try driving more slowly and accelerating smoothly, which significantly reduces the jerking. For a proper solution, I recommend regular maintenance, checking the transmission fluid and wiring connections, and addressing any issues before they escalate. After all, safety comes first. If sudden jerking affects control on the road, it's not worth the risk. It's better to address the problem early for peace of mind.

After working in the auto repair shop for so many years, I've seen many Tiggo 8 Plus owners complain about transmission jerking, often due to structural flaws in the dual-clutch system, such as gear wear or sensor misreporting. When the clutch plates age and don't engage tightly, it's easy to experience a shake during gear shifts. Additionally, dirty transmission fluid or insufficient fluid levels can also cause problems. It's recommended to get it checked early and replace the fluid promptly to prevent minor issues from escalating. In daily driving, avoid overloading the vehicle and sudden starts or stops to extend its lifespan.

As a parent, I'm more concerned about the comfort and safety of my family when riding in the car. The occasional jerking of the Tiggo 8 Plus can be quite annoying, especially noticeable during turns or when climbing hills, possibly caused by transmission response delays. This situation can make vehicle control unstable, posing greater risks to children or elderly passengers. I recommend regular maintenance, such as checking transmission components every 10,000 kilometers, to identify potential issues early. Maintaining a steady speed while driving can help reduce jerking and avoid sudden jolts. Safety comes first—don't overlook these minor issues.
