When im coming to a stop the car will be okay until it gets to about 20 mph and then the jerking starts it does it twice and then the car continues to slow down. Sometimes when i come to a stop it jerks right before the stop … any tips ? ---

How’s your transmission fluid? Both the color and the level? Has it been maintained since 2003? I know some Honda transmission of this vintage had problems. Hopefully yours isn’t one of them…but this sure sounds like a transmission issue to me. ---

It sounds like a transmission issue to me too. The torque converter lockup solenoid could be failing.
