Could be as simple as a tune up.
My 2004 SRX V8 would jerk and sort of "hang up" when accelerating from a stop. It is an AWD. The dealership had to rebuild my transfer case. No more problems since.
Cylinder miss.
Replace the fuel filter.
Clogged fuel filter.
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.
what year and do you have a 4l60e trans if so the trans might be going but firs check the u joints check all them the 4l60e is natoris for having the trans go
Something to do with the transmission. Probably slipping It's the force of momentum being exerted on the car, the chassis of the car doesn't quite "catch up" with the engine itself without a transfer of momentum, or "jerk".
have your transmission checked sometimes torque converter clutch isn t locking or unlocking properly
Yes, because a jerk is a jerk, they would be likely to like another jerk!
your in trouble.... thanks a lot jerk, that helps
It is because the car is accelerating from zero miles per hour to a faster speed so you feel pushed backwards.
Try a basic tune up. New spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor. When the vehicle is in first gear and you are accelerating, that is when the most load is on the engine. It sounds as though under a load, you are losing your spark because it is arcing out where it should not be.
