Why would a car jerk right before it comes to a complete stop on an automatic transmission car?

Answer 1

AnswerOn the assumption that you are braking at the time and that what you mean by "jerk right" is that the steering wheel turns right, I can only say that your right front brakes are supplying more friction to stop the car than what your left front brakes are supplying.

Possible reasons for the above are:

1) The piston within your left brake caliper bore is stuck in place or does not move freely back and forth.

2) The brake line going to your left front brake caliper is plugged or has debris in it.

3) Your right front brakes have more brake pad material on them than what your left front brakes have (of course, you should be able to hear when your brakes are down to bare metal).

If my opening assumptions are incorrect, then please (for your own benefit) edit your question to give some more information so as others can more accurately zero in on the problem. Thank you, Vullin
