Answer
This could be an engine performance issue, a transmission/clutch issue, or a brake issue.

Is your check engine lamp on or has it been coming on?  If so, check the diagnostic trouble codes stored in your engine and transmission control modules.

Is your engine rpm abnormally high when the problem occurs?  If so, suspect a problem with the transmission (automatic) or clutch (manual).
