Why does my car jerk a lot?

Question

I have an 03 HONDA Civic Hybrid and whenever I'm in traffic, slowing down for a turn, etc, and i accelerate, it jerks A LOT to the point where people start looking. i don't even apply a lot of pressure on the gas. What could be the problem? I just had the computer updated and main battery replaced. Is it normal for my car to jerk too much? it didn't do it before. Please help.

Answer 1

You might have a problem wıth the electric motor since it works as a generator during braking and it is the main power unit for acceleration in slow traffic. My second guess would be the mulfunctioning main current regulator.

Answer 2

Electric motor needs to be checked, your engine speed sensor also needs checking too!

Answer 3

that could be a million things, seriously. It could be a badly warped driveshaft, loose tranny mounts, loose motor mounts, out of balanced tires, loose strut mounts, etc...just to name a few things..good luck!
