2023 Sportage XL Prestige PHEV Ride
No one has anything to offer???I've had my 2023 Sportage XL Prestige PHEV for a bit over a month now. I am finding that when going over street and/or highway bumps (not large ones) the car feels like it is jumping over to the side on the rear end. Having come from a 2022 Subaru Outback Touring (and 4 previous Outbacks) I find the ride in this new vehicle not so great at all. I do like the car, but this unforgiving ride over bumps is really starting to get to me. Yes, I have checked the tire pressures, several times. Anyone else finding the ride in this particular vehicle not satisfactory?

Had it checked at Kia ... they said it did feel like it was jumping to one side or the other at times, but could not find anything wrong with it. Beautiful.We have a 2023 Sportage HEV and this definitely rides over bumps better than our 2015 Subaru Forester. The Forester was stiffer. If it is jumping over to the side in the back, I really think there is something wrong with your car.

Yep. This is what I tell people when they rave about how good their warranty is. No warranty will change the fact that a dealer will say one of the following about your issues:Had it checked at Kia ... they said it did feel like it was jumping to one side or the other at times, but could not find anything wrong with it.

-This is "normal"
-We were unable to replicate it
-We replicated it but unable to fix it
-We need to keep your car, here's a crappy rental
