Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team!
Congratulations on your new 2019 Lincoln Nautilus! It's unfortunate to hear that it's acting like a jerk!
Even without any diagnostic trouble codes showing up, there could be a few things causing this. Early transmission problems, like slipping gears or delayed engagement, sometimes cause jerking sensations. Fuel system issues, like clogged injectors or irregular fuel pressure, can also affect smooth engine performance.
Another consideration could be electrical gremlins—faulty sensors or intermittent electrical issues can sometimes cause the engine to hesitate and jerk.
Lastly, drivetrain or suspension components, especially if worn out, can transmit vibrations that feel like jerking. To get to the bottom of it, I'd recommend having a trusted mechanic look closer. They can thoroughly inspect and use specialized tools to diagnose the issue properly. This way, we can get your Nautilus running smoothly again in no time! Also, call your local dealer just to make sure there are no open recalls or warranty extensions regarding this issue.
