2005 Saturn Ion Acceleration

Shakes or Wobbles problem
2005 Saturn Ion 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 71650 miles

My 2005 saturn ion has 71651 miles on it. I was driving on the streets and suddenly my car died, the power was on and the battery light came on, but I still had power. It started right away after too. Now whenever im at a complete stop and I accelerate ill be at 10mph but my rpms is at 3000. Once I hit 15mph the car kicks foward kinda hard and the rpms drops back to 2000. It just started today. When im driving on the freeway and slow down then speed up theres no problem, only when I completely stop. What could it be?
