Drives fine on the street but when I drive it on the highway at about 65 or higher feels like it shift down and the right back up but jerks hard. I noticed the gas gauge a little slow when I fill up my tank it takes a while to show I put gas I barely bought the car I've been driving it for 4 days I'm afraid it can be the transmission

Scan for codes and check fuel pressure with a gauge first. It could be a transmission issue to me. Check the transmission fluid level just in case.
