Default Jerking and trouble lights

I have recently have had issues with my 2013 Chevy Cruze 1.4. It's fine when I first start to drive it (for the first 5-10 minutes). After that, it starts to idle rough at red lights and when I accelerate and get to between 3k-3.5k RPM, it will start to jerk and error messages pop up saying Service StabiliTrak" and "Service Traction Control". The check engine light also comes on. Does anyone know what this can be?

The vehicle has 113k miles, has had regular oil changes, and new spark plugs were just put in around 100k miles if any of that helps.

The check engine light could be thousands of things. It's telling you there's a fault that you need to check with a diagnostic tool.

Does the light flash? If so then it's probably misfiring which can cause jerking.

It does not flash. it stays on until I'm able to turn the car off. When I turn the car back on, it stays off for the first 5-10 minutes and happens again when I hit 3-3.5k RPM.

swing by an Autozone or similar and ask for a courtesy scan. Post of a photo of the report.
