My car will jerk as I am coming to a stop. It will only happen once my car warms up. I can drive it first thing in the day and it will not happen until I have driven it a while or I let it idle for a bit in my driveway. For instance, if I start my car in the morning, let it idle for twenty minutes in park, it will start happening once I start driving. See video of it happening. https://youtu.be/Z-AiPX4qyK0

Hello,

Thanks for the video. you can upload any further videos right to the site no YouTube needed. :) It seems like the jerk is an engine misfire making the car jerk, have you done a tune up lately? Here is a guide to help walk you through just in case:

Next lets run the codes in case it is a transmission shift issue like a shaft speed sensor is going out.

Here is a video of one getting replaced:

Please let us know what happens and what it feels like to you, transmission, engine or something else?

Cheers, Ken
