Your engine surges unexpectedly when you apply light throttle in any gear or at any speed, making acceleration feel jerky and unpredictable. The dealership has reset your engine and transmission computers multiple times, which temporarily improves the problem, but it keeps getting worse. This surging is unsafe in parking lots where light throttle doesn't produce movement, causing you to press harder and then suddenly lurch forward. The fix may require a full diagnostic scan, fuel system cleaning, or replacement of engine control components.

Your car intermittently jerks or loses power while driving, especially when accelerating from a stop at traffic lights. The jerking happens more frequently when you're stopped and then begin to accelerate. A Dodge dealer inspected the vehicle but was unable to identify the cause. The issue may require diagnostic testing of the fuel system, ignition components, or engine sensors to pinpoint the problem.
