Hi. I have a 2001 sebring lxi and just recently my car stalled a littled and shut off at a red light. It started right up and I didnt have any problems on the way home. However, now, sometimes when im on the freeway going at a good constant speed, it gives me a quick jerk and feels like its not getting any gas. I say that because its usually when im accelerating. I hoping its not transmission. What could this be and how much is the average cost to fix? Im currently on active duty and this would be the best time for me to buy a new vehicle so if its a lot of money to fix I may think about trading it in.

The first thing I would do is check to see if any transmission codes are present.
For that matter any codes.

This may be a transmission issue, but may also be a engine management isue such as a cam or crank sensor problem.

This really should get diagnosed by a tech that is versed with this. IF no codes are present, a good tech can have a scanner hooked up and take a snap-shot of the data stream when the problem occurs. This data can then be interpreted to check for anomalies.

What is the condition of the transmission fluid? Nice clean and pink like it should be? I assume the filter has been changed at least once.
