Description of the problem	For @ 6 months the car jerks when i am driving. When i press the accelerator it will do 2-3 jerks that are strong enough to jerk you forward in your seat. It feels as if the car has forgotten what gear it is in and it is searching to find it. Or you could describe it as though it is not getting fuel where it is needed even when you have had even pressure on the accelerator. This has mainly occurred while doing about 40 mph going up an incline but it has also occurred on level driving areas while doing around 40 mph. Most recently the car has been jerking in top gear. I have taken it to the dealer 3 times. Just yesterday i picked it up from the dealer who had it for a whole 7 days!! They were able to recreate the problem but can't figure out what it is because it doesn't register on the obc. They had me do a $450. 00 maintenance on it to see if it would help and of course it did not. They said they reprogrammed it but that did not help either. Due to this problem, i have either been without a vehicle for days or have had to rent a very costly rental car for a whole week. The dealer claims they took the car to their residence to test drive it, (approx. 80 miles) but when picking the car up yesterday they were rude enough not to replenish my fuel. When i asked them about it they said it was necessary to do the road tests. As a consumer with a car still under warranty they should have replaced the gas and pay for my car rental. But there has been no help with this situation at all. Now i am scared to drive my car and i depend on it for my profession.
