Why does your car jerk when you use the defroster or air condisher?

When the air conditioner comes on, which includes turning on the defroster at low temeprature ranges, it draws a lot of power from the engine. This can result in a decrease in idle speed and less available power on starting off from a start. This is often felt as a shaking or jerking. It is possible that the idle is low or that there are problems preventing full power.

Because it's not a defroster button! It's just the symbol for ventilating the air into the car. It shoudln't be called a defroster since defrosting is meant by heating up the coils that you see at the back of the car. I'm pretty no car has wires in the front!

Why does my air conditioner hiss and jerk the car then blow hot air then jerk and hiss again and then blow cold?
Your A/C compressor is shot. It's internal computer (or that of your car) is malfunctioning. The "jerk" is when your "A/C" kicks in...an A/C compressor takes much of your cars usable power. As it turns on and off you will get the hiss and jerk. (the hiss comes from the overworked compressor lines cooling)

What makes car jerk when the air conditioner is on?
The AC compressor puts quite a load on the engine, especially one with less cylinders. It puts a load on the engine, causing it to jerk back and forth.
Where is the defroster in a car?
the defroster is actually your a/c. it doesn't run much when it's cold outside but it works with your heater to remove the moisture from inside the car. blowing warm dry air on the windshield. just like it removes the moisture (humidity) from inside the car in the summer. the difference is the temp. you have it on. even if the a/c don't work, the heater will still do the job, just not quite as well.
Does a broken thermostat cause the defroster inside your car to put frost on your inside window instead of remove it?
If the defroster is blowing hot air and it is still leaving moisture on the inside of the windshield, the heater core may be leaking coolant causing that condition. If the defroster is blowing cold air it could be the cooling system is low on coolant, or the thermostat is stuck open or the heater core is plugged up or the temp blend door has a malfunction.
Why do your car jerk while driving when you run the air conditioner and when its not running?
