Question Volvo 98' S70 Problem...

I recently purchased a 1998 Volvo S70 car with 140k miles on it. The previous own had the vehicle garage kept with a few minor dents and scratches on it. Overall the vehicle runs great but when I'm on the highway and acceleration to around 55-60mph the car seems to jump. Its a 5-speed automatic sedan and it feels like its trying to shift in gear but the jump is very noticeable.

I would appreciate any feedback on the car's condition and if the problem is serious; although the car does have 140k miles on it most of the parts were replaced around a year and a half ago. Thank you.

What do you mean my JUMP? Does it try to go faster? Does it go to the right or left? Not sure what JUMP means.

What does MOST OF THE PARTS WERE REPLACED mean? Body parts, engine parts, do you have receipts? We need details to help you out.

With the jump it feels like it pulls foward and attempts to accelerate a bit faster for a second. When I mean most of the parts were replaced just some minor parts in the vehicle were replaced, the engine is still the original one.
