Perhaps it is because of the cooling/heating system that's having trouble specially when your car is dealing with extreme temperatures. The coolant overflow tank is one parts of the system that usually regulates this but of course, there'll be times that it will inevitably fail.

It is a result of the air to fuel mix , when the intake is cold the fuel doesn't vaporize as well causing uneven fuel delivery to the cylinders. Once the intake and system warm up it should normalise, but most newer vehicles have a pre-heat device to keep this from happening, if this is a newer vehicle , you might want to have it checked.

Why does my air conditioner hiss and jerk the car then blow hot air then jerk and hiss again and then blow cold?

Your A/C compressor is shot. It's internal computer (or that of your car) is malfunctioning. The "jerk" is when your "A/C" kicks in...an A/C compressor takes much of your cars usable power. As it turns on and off you will get the hiss and jerk. (the hiss comes from the overworked compressor lines cooling)

Something to do with the transmission. Probably slipping It's the force of momentum being exerted on the car, the chassis of the car doesn't quite "catch up" with the engine itself without a transfer of momentum, or "jerk".
