Hi
We found a sportage to buy, 2005 auto.
2.7 petrol.
We had an inspection done because we arent able to go see the car ourselves.
We paid DEKRA to do an inspection and they found the following problems.
1. There is a problem with the gearbox / engine. When in fourth gear, and you put foot down to accelerate, the car drops to third and then when it goes back to fourth after accelerating it judders badly. This is a repeatable problem apparently.
Is this a problem anyone else has had? Any known cause/fix?
2. Cruise control doesnt work at all.
3. uneven tyre wear. Is this a known problem?
The report says the front tyres which only have 3mm on them should be replaced before purchase.
4. the exhaust system works but has 'limited life' and should be budgetted for a replacement soon.
So, we are going to go back to the garrage with these problems, but its the 1st issue which concerns me. Id like to at least know what it might be causing it so that they have a chance of fixing it, and that i know it is fixed before i buy it.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Joel
