Have you consulted a dealer as the car should still be under warranty?

yes I did, he said it is normal for a 2WD big SUV, cos it is too heavy and only 2WD, actually after 5000+ km it is a little bit better then, but still not smooth like my MAZDA 3

Is there a light flashing on the dash when this happens?

no nothing is flashing, and once the car is up running it feels normal, it just feels like not enough power at the beginning...

hi Trent, thanks very much for your reply, i understand now.

Thanks Laurie, I do appreciate your reply, I know "S" is kind of manual transmission without clutch, however my concern is why no matter the car is running or fully stop, as long as I change it from "D" to "S", it always starts from 4th gear even the car is not running.

My MAZDA, if I change it from "D" to "M", the gear will vary not always 4th gear, for example, if I change it when the car is stopping, it will show me it is currently on the 1st gear whereas my Kluger will still show me it is on 4th gear...this is weird.

Hey guys,

Do not know if this is right, my 2014 2WD kluger when it starts running from 0km, especially when it is climbing the hill, the accelerate feels not smooth, when the rpm is round about 2000 the engine makes loud sound and the steering wheel vibrates a little bit, any body could tell me is this a normal thing for 2WD? thanks.

2014 Kluger GX

As titled, when Kluger stops change from D mode to S mode starts from 4th gear, is this correct? should it start from first gear because it is stopping or running? anyone could help me to verify? Thanks
