Default Uneven ride -- fuel flow problem?

My 06 S (107K miles) is suddenly jerky and uneven, like there's a fuel flow problem. When I step on the gas, it jerks hard. My Honda dealer says it's motor mounts, which doesn't seem right to me.

pretty easy to inspect the mounts yourself... and i would replace yout guel filter if your rpms are jerky... also a basic tune up never hurts...when was the last time it was done?

They are generally made for the life of the car. What gets dirty are the injectors.

well how bad do the mounts look? Is it always when you push the gas or just from the start? do you have an engine damper? if the mounts were broken it may couse the engine to shake a bit creating the jerk effect... and the coil packs are good? did it do it before the tune up?
