That indicator is for the "Powertrain Malfunction". The specific issue will need to be determined by having the OBD codes read and evaluated; but hesitations, shimmies, and other issues which create a "bad" or "rough" ride are common with this issue. Sounds like it will need to get checked at a mechanic. Good luck.
