When driving sounds at times as though I have a flat tire I can feel it when putting foot on the gas and I can hear like a thump at times when driving. Idles funny rough with ac on at times also.

Can this be a master cylinoid problem or my transmission sterring column. I need to take a 5 hour trip this week for a job interview and i need to know.

Have you checked the tires for flat spots? Also, does the sound change with speed? Does it change on turns?
