Default Jerking

Driving around town @35-40 mph and after slowing down from faster speeds on highway car has a minor "jerking" motion. RPM's are steady and engine accelerate's great with no pause, also ditigal read out on a/c flickers and lights on a/c flash everwhere. What's up? Thanks

Automatic tranny? If so, that sounds like your convertor clutch is locking up under low load conditions. Believe it or not, the owners manual states that this kind of feeling is normal and should be ignored.

So my question is "Is the flashing of the AC happening at the exact same time" or is it more of a coincidence?

no It usually happens when car is first started. Sometimes it stops and sometimes it doesn't. Could it be a relay or a sensor?
