Some Toyota Corolla owners report experiencing jolting issues while driving, which can be attributed to several potential causes. A common reason for the jerking sensation is a misfire, often linked to problems with spark plugs or coil packs. Additionally, the jolting may be related to the transmission mount, particularly noticeable when changing directions from reverse to drive or vice versa. Some owners also find that an incorrect spark plug gap contributes to the jerking, as even slight deviations can lead to performance issues. It is recommended that owners consult a professional mechanic for an accurate diagnosis and resolution of these problems.
