sometimes when i try to accelerate quickly it jerks and acts like its going to shut off. the braking has done the same thing when if i have to stop abruptly. any thoughts on this?

If your car has traction control, it sounds like it’s doing what it’s supposed to.

Keeping tires from spinning on acceleration and brakes from locking up under hard braking.
