I have an 03 cadillac Deville base sedan. My car drives amazing in town and speeds below 55 mph. But when I get on a highway and I'm going around 65 mph or higher my car will jerks foward or backwards(I can't tell) It only does this every once in a while like every 10 minutes. But I feel like it does it more the farther I travel. I have two codes, the po101 and po410. I just replaced my mass air flow sensor but haven't driven on highway yet. I don't know if my po101 code has went off yet. I also think my acceleration isn't all that great.

Have a trans guy scan for codes but your torque converter clutch may be applying in and out causing he effect you feel.

It may not be the converter but it may be a solenoid hanging up as well or a valve. Ya you should get back ok.
