It sounds like a fuel pump problem. I had this happen to mine about 4 weeks ago. I was getting on the interstate hard one morning and the car started to hesitate real bad and jerk. Once I left off of it it stopped and drove normal. Everytime I floored it the car would just jump and jerk. Took it to the dealer and they ran a test and was showing lower pressure from the fuel pump. The replaced the fuel pump and jet pump for a whopping $800. Runs like a top now.
Lou did a how to on replacing the pumps but expect to pay around $500 just for the pumps.

The CEL did come on but the code flashed an overheating problem. However, I have heard that the CEL for the fuel pump is common though. This makes the second time I have had to replace my fuel pump.
