Could be spark plugs, wires, clogged air filter, etc. When does it do it? Anything else you can tell us about it? Welcome to the forums.

air filter and oil were changed about 3,000 miles ago, spark plugs and "throttle body cleaning" was done in July that is what dealer said was wrong. when at a light car will jerk until I start to move again poor acceleration, lots of hestitation, it only does this when i'm doing lower speeds, and yes this is a auto, when doing high speeds car is fine, and the check engine light was on in july when i took it, but now it is not on would really appreciate feedback

Thanks

ummm have some one help you check your motor mounts they could be broken that would cause the car to jump in gear....or it could very well be a miss fire problem but thats rare since you don't seem to have other problems.... so i would check ur motor mounts its easy to do

Not your mounts. How is your gas mileage? Its something either fuel, spark, or air related.

Thanks for the feedback, gas mileage is fine, I have heard alot of it could be fuel related so I will check into that

Thanks!!

Try some injector cleaner and dry gas. It could be clogged injectors or condensation in the gas.
