I've started having an issue where my car will randomly jerk when slowing down. It gets really bad at 15mph and right when I'm about to stop completely. It feels almost like getting hit from behind. Then when I accelerate it hesitates and jerks. If I accelerate too fast its almost like my wheels lock up then release. It does not do it all the time. I have no codes popping up when I get it checked out. No one has any idea what is happening. Its starting to happen more often but no lights come one. No codes when I get it checked. Mechanics cant figure it out but it does not feel safe at all.

I have had my car jerk on long trips since i got the car. No resolution yet and doesn't happen of course when a tech is in the car. It happens more frequently now - since i've had the car 2.5 years now!!! Sometimes the jerk is really bad - probably enough to give you a little whiplash and then others it's just slight. DOesn't always happen after each trip but most of them. My trips typically consist of a 60 miles trip, even happens on a 30 mile trip on the high way! I really have to be careful when i get off the exit and make that first stop so i'm not stopping to close to another vehicle so i can control the car!!!
