Bucking going up hill - 2007 Dodge Nitro R/T New Cars

I don't know year--make--model? If you shift from od to d, does the problem go away? If so, I agree with you, sounds like a tranny issue.

I used to have a vehicle that did the same thing, Always on the same steep hill. I'd shift into D until I crested the hill then back into od.

I realize my post doesn't help you fix it.

Yea! I'd like to see the answer to this also!
My Ford Explorer 2000 does the same thing going up hill. Especially with a loaded trailer on.
Local mechanic had it for the day and couldn't put his finger on it.
I can alleviate the problem by turning the AUTO Trak knob to 4x4 Hi while driving and the jerking stops.
I'll keep an eye here to see what others think
Cheers

Have a shop put the scan tool on it & go for a ride up hills
& look at the cylinder misfire counts & you go along,you drive

Never just leave the vehicle,you need to be part of the solution
& get the education

You could replace spark plugs if they are over 3 years old

You need to be able to test,scope or somehow evaluate the
ignition system for misfires

Coils,Modules,Wires, anything can break down in time

Egr System problems,especially on hills, if vacuum is involved

You will probable find your petrol pump is bunged up in the tank . drop the tank and clean or renew.

double posted

take it to a dealer ASAP

When going up hills is the engine bucking and missing? Also for the hard start warm problem, check the fuel pressure regulator for leaks into the vac line.

if you engine is not racing going up hills its not the transmission, change the fuel filter, or maybe a vaccuum hose is unhooked under the hood

Have your Catalytic converters checked! Sounds like there getting plugged!

I had a similiar problem it turned out be the catalytic converter. I believe there was a recall for this problem.
