On my car when your driving down the road, it will lurch and bounce and sometimes seem like the transmission is slipping. It just started to do this within the last 4,000 miles. Any tips?

Id start by checking the ignition system. Usually a bad plug or wire will cause the jerking. Easy test is to remove the wires off the coil towers one at a time and look for rust or corrosion, ususlly the problem lies right there.
