Anyone else have their Expedition jerk when braking? Mine’s a 2016, and it’s been acting weird for the past few weeks. Whenever I’m coming to a stop, especially at slower speeds, the car kinda lunges forward right before it fully stops. It’s almost like the brakes are letting go for a split second, then catching again. Brakes are fairly new—had them done about six months ago—so I’m pretty sure it’s not the pads or rotors.
I’m starting to wonder if this could be something with the transmission downshifting too aggressively, or maybe even the ABS kicking in when it’s not supposed to? I haven’t noticed any warning lights on the dash, though, so I’m a bit stumped. It’s not a huge jolt, but it’s definitely noticeable and pretty annoying. Makes me feel like I’m stopping too hard, even when I’m braking normally.
I’ve read that some people had issues with their Expedition’s torque converter causing similar symptoms. Could that be what’s happening here? Or could it be something simpler, like a sensor or brake booster issue? I really don’t want to get into an expensive fix if it’s something I can handle myself or if it’s just a minor adjustment.
Anyone else run into this problem? Any ideas on where to start looking? Would love to get some input before I take it in.
