When I am driving down the road it starts bucking, but it does not do it all the time. We cannot figure out what is causing it.

Good morning.

It could be ignition issue or a clogged exhaust.

Possible failures:

1. Spark plugs/wires.

2. Coils or a module.

3. Low fuel pressure.

4. Clogged catalytic converter.

5. Transmission shutter.

All these need to be checked.
