It it a continous jerk or just like a slam, as if someone hit you from behind or a feeling of going into a pot hole?

How many miles on the car? How long has this been happening? Do you have a manual or automatic transmission?

What if you were to drive the car and shift manually? Keep it in second or third gear when you get to 40 to 45 mph to see if it still occurs. It might be transmission related.
I would bring it to the dealer since you are still under warranty.
