noise and jolting is present whilst car is idolling and accelerating
If the automatic transmission car jerks when accelerating and the dash does not indicate a gear, there is a problem with the transmission. Check the shift solenoid.
Lack of propulsion.
Rather, a car stoppping at a light is an example of deceleration but one of the possible example of acceleration when a car stops at a traffic light is a pedestrian accelerating across the road or other car in different lanes accelerating to move to on in their journey.
Your car may be accelerating to the right from a stop due to issues with the alignment, tire pressure, or a problem with the brakes on one side of the vehicle. It is recommended to have your car inspected by a professional mechanic to diagnose and fix the issue.
When a car slows down at a traffic light, it is decelerating. This means that the car is reducing its speed or coming to a stop in response to the signal.
