Default Lexus RX 350 Jolting (Please help.)

Hi,
I have a Lexus RX 350 year 2008 that recently started to jolt. It has been happening for a month now. It isn't consistent to where S&S Tire can find something wrong. It's sporadic, however lately it's popping up more. The best way I can describe it would be it feels as if someone has hit the back of the car every time it happens. To where I have to look over my seat to make sure no one actually DID hit my car.

I have been trying to pay attention to when it happens and I'm pretty sure it's when I accelerate from being stopped; though it occasionally happens when I break.

If anyone has had this happen to them and KNOWS what is going on please comment. I need this fixed, I'm afraid it is going to mess up the transmission in the long run and I don't feel like paying 15k for it.

Thanks in advance!

How many miles on your RX? Sounds like you may already have some transmission issue.

It does sound like a transmission issue. Check the fluid. When was the last transmission fluid replacement?
