My moms 2000 GS just started to "jerk" when you come to a stop. She has had it since day 1 and has done the services at the dealer, breaks were recently replaced also. A few weeks ago the car just started to "jerk" when you are coming to a stop, has anyone else experienced this? What could it be and how can it be fixed? Thanks!

Spark plugs are misfiring =]

Cool, thanks. We checked the transmission fluid, and that was low, but I will check the spark plugs too, they probably do need to be replaced.

also, check your diff. I would service it if possible.

The rotors are possibly warped or the brake pads did not break in correctly, that's something I would check considering you said it jerks as you're stopping.

That would be vibration though , right?

if she has had all services done at the dealer.. you would expect the dealer to sell you some more services yeah?

how do you know when to change your spark plugs? I was told by a mechanic that you should change them once they hit 100k miles...is this true?

Wow, thanks for helpful response!
