it all of a sudden lunges while driving in the city or freeway. it is like it cuts out (like out of gas) then goes right. it does it repeatedly. If I give it gas it goes fine when I keep pedal on freeway study it will start lunging. in city it is very touchy, pretty much if you let up on the gas it will jerk and lunge. freeway driving it like it runs out of gas, only last for about five seconds then resumes normal. it is odd because it has no loss of power I can floor it and it will go until I try and keep it steady. i am miffed cause I have seen no other ones on forums that do this. it does not stall. please help anybody have a clue?

Next time this happens, hold the accelerator pedal perfectly steady, then lightly tap the brake pedal. If the problem goes away for two or three seconds, then comes back, the most likely cause is the transmission has the wrong fluid in it. Let me know what you find.
