If a car jerks forward while in the break position it is not the Automatic Break System but rather the transmission.
could be failing transmission
either it's abs (anti braking syatem) or gas sloshing around in the tank Time for a tune up.
Low fluid level, and/or dirty filter. If hot rodded, then extra wear on the transmission.
would an automatic transmission car jerk when shifting after having had a transmission flush
The "lockup torque converter" could be engaging too soon. Take it to a transmission shop to have it diagnosed.
In this sense, a "jerk" most commonly refers to a transmission problem.
If you were a jerk, she will not. If you were nice, then maybe she will.
Most likely needs the front rotors turned or replaced.
Your ABS (Antilock Brake System) is kicking in. It's working.
This could be the cause if an improper alignment if it happens under normal straight line driving. If the jerk is more prevalent when going on bumpy roads, it may be a sign of bad shocks or springs. If the jerk is occurring during braking situations, the problem may be related to the bearings being worn or warped discs/drums in the braking system.
What causes a car to jerk while driving can be based on many factors. A car can sputter due to engine compression issues, bad transmission, engine misfire, bad spark plugs or even low fuel.
