Have your trans checked. Is it an AWD vehicle? Mine is and it has a similar, but slightly different problem. It will stutter when going about 50-60 and bounce between high gear and overdrive. Doesn't happen at any other speed. I had it looked at by a reputable shop and was told that this year had a history of trans problems only solved by replacing the trans. I solved it by taking it out of overdrive when driving at that speed and turning it back on when I get above about 55.
