A Dodge Caliber jerking while accelerating past 60 km/h could be due to several issues, such as a failing transmission, worn spark plugs, or fuel delivery problems. It might also be related to a malfunctioning throttle position sensor or issues with the engine's ignition system. It's advisable to have the vehicle diagnosed by a professional mechanic to identify and address the specific cause. Regular maintenance can help prevent such issues from occurring.
Cylinder miss.
Replace the fuel filter.
Clogged fuel filter.
Could be as simple as a tune up.
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.
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".
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.
have your transmission checked sometimes torque converter clutch isn t locking or unlocking properly
What do you mean by jerk?.......... Surge? hesitate? transmission slip? Misfire? I need a better explanation.
cause yours is broken
It is because the car is accelerating from zero miles per hour to a faster speed so you feel pushed backwards.
It could.
