Renegade suddenly misfiring/limping
2015 1.4T Renegade Limited, 95k miles
Driving to work today and halfway through my journey as I shifted downgear the car started shunting and jerking a bit, then the check engine light came on and it felt like the engine was misfiring, car slowed right down and I could barely get out of 3rd. Pulled over, engine off, engine back on, light stayed on but the jerking stopped and it drove normally again. At lunch, I got in and turned it on, again the check engine light stayed on but it drove fine for 10 minutes.
After work I get in, this time the check engine light is off so I figured all okay, but again, halfway through my journey home, it started shuddering and jumping a bit, I could tell it was about to do the same thing, 30 seconds later as I shifted gear it jumped and the light came on, barely was able to limp the car home. Now every time I turn the engine on I can hear it shudder, a few revs and it sounds like it's really struggling to do anything.
Booked in with my mechanic but not until next week, has anyone had anything like this happen with theirs?
Been serviced regularly, spark plugs recently changed, oil topped up, just at a bit of a loss!
