I have a 2004 Hyundai Elantra with 94,500 miles and for the past month my car sometimes jerks when I put it in drive and press on the accelerator. It does'nt happen every time and it only happens between 10-15 mph. I recently changed my oil, air filter, transmission service and fule injection service. But it is still happening. The shop where I took it too said I need a new catalytic converter, but they could not tell me if that is whats causing the jerking. They said they need to experience it first to see what the problem is. Of course it didn't happen for them, because again it does not do it all the time. Is there any advise you can give me?
