What Causes the Obvious Jerking Sensation in the Car Body When Braking to a Stop?
1 Answers
If it's emergency braking, experiencing a jerking sensation is normal, which is commonly referred to as the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System). If it's relatively hard braking, also known as heavy braking, the vehicle may also exhibit a jerking sensation, which is caused by the downshifting of the transmission. Other reasons for jerking sensations include: 1. Upshift Jerking: The transmission's response speed is not fast enough, and the upshift speed cannot keep up with the acceleration pedal input, so a jerking sensation occurs at the moment the transmission shifts gears. 2. Downshift Jerking: Due to the intervention of the energy recovery system, once the driver releases the accelerator pedal or presses the brake pedal, the generator immediately starts working, which burdens the engine, affecting the engine's speed and causing a mismatch between the engine speed and the clutch disc speed, resulting in a jerking sensation.
