If I step down hard on the accelerator, very often my Tucson will surge to the point where it is head jerking. It is an automatic but does not seem to have transmission problems.

MasterAny yellow lights on? ( i.e Check Engine/Service Engine Soon Light ) Why do you step so hard on the throttle, is it to pass someone or enter a freeway? It may be that the transmission is kicking down to a lower gear, but is not doing it smoothly. Why not have a good ATRA certified transmission shop test drive your vehicle, just for a second opinion. I mention ATRA as they are the the most ethical.
