A few weeks back, I was driving through town when I came to a traffic light. I stopped as usual, and when I took off again, it almost felt as if I was rear ended. Alarmed, I immediately looked in my rear view mirror, only to find that I was the only car on the road. I continued driving and got to my destination. When I left, I put the car into reverse, and when I put it into drive, it jerked forward. I continued driving and every time the car shifts, it shifts extremely hard and jerks forward. This has been ongoing for a couple weeks. The check engine light came on as well, but with work schedules and such, I haven't had the opportunity to take to dealership. Any suggestions to what it could be?
