I put transmission fluid and didn't help
When you say it "jerks," this description could fit several actual symptoms. If by "jerks" you mean the engine misfires, it could be caused by the need for a major tune-up (including plug wires and distributor cap), or it could be a problem with fuel delivery, contaminated fuel, or defective components in the fuel system.
I assume the CHECK ENGINE light is on (and has probably been illuminated for some time now). Begin by doing a readout of the stored codes, and use the results to begin your diagnosis.
If by "jerks" you mean the transmission is slipping (engine revs but car slows down or doesn't accelerate), you have a transmission issue. If the transmission fluid and strainer/filter have not been replaced within the past 5 years or 50,000 miles, have a complete transmission service performed.
If by "jerks" you mean that the steering wheel wobbles or pulls, you have a problem with the front suspension.
If by "jerks" you mean that the car shudders or pulls when you apply the brakes, you need brake work.
I think I covered all of the "jerks." ;)

It should go without saying that you will need to include the YEAR, MAKE, and MODEL of your vehicle in order for a diagnosis to be suggested. Also, "jerking" can mean several things. You will need to provide a far better description of the issue, under what circumstances it occurs, and what you are doing when it is "jerking," in order for ANYONE to suggest anything meaningful.
Its kinda like something it tapping the break a lil when I'm going down the road
