If you have a three speed automatic transmission, and the car is bucking before it shuts off at slow speeds, it could be a torque converter lock up solenoid that has gone bad. This would not turn on an engine light.
But if it is an automatic transmission with overdrive, I would guess it would have to be a loss of fuel delivery or an ignition problem.
