Default trouble to brake

i think my brakes are messed up, or something is messed up I'm not sure what it is. When i brakes with my car it slows down and in like the middle of the slowing down the car jerks then continues to slow down until a compete stop. It jerks like if i were to slam on the brake but i don't slam on the brake. I don't know whats wrong with it. can anybody help me? this doesn't happen every time i brake just sometimes.

I guess the first thing to do would be to search the forum. Right at the top of the 'Suspension, Brakes, Tires, & wheels' section there is a sticky on how to bleed the brakes. Maybe check it out

first off its BRAKES not breaks. its not like breaking china

could be a simple bubble in the line, or check the brake boosters vac line the line might be cracked of the valve on the line going into the booster has gone bad.

no offense... if you cannt spell brakes..... then i dont think you should be messing with your brakes at all. take it into a brake shop and have them inspect the system.
