For some time now, my car has been jerking, sometimes this happens when i slow down or when i take a bend, it eventually slows down and normalises though but what could be the cause? and also, a different thing abt the brake which i think is not connected to the jerking problem is that sometimes when i apply brake, the car dosnt stop, this happens occassionaly, and it was after my car was towed when it was not on and while the towing was going on the person at the steering at the back was applying brake occassionally and meanwhile d break was very stiff since the car was off.
The jerking may be due to uneven braking on either side of the car it may be that a piston is stuck. need to take car off the road remove tyres then brakecalipers a good indication that a piston is stuck is when you disconnect the brake lines and pull pads/caliper of the rotor the piston will be extremely hard to move

I would check the brake caliper hinge pins. If the pins are worn, every time you apply the brakes the caliper moves forward against the pins. If the caliper pins and or caliper are worn they will clunk when the brakes are applied.
Check to see if the caliper shifts forward and back.
Let me know.

I don't know if this would be considered a solution or not but in 2006 Ford implemented a new transmission (6 speed automatic) and they have and still have a lot of problems. It is fixed (helped may be more appropriate) by a computer upgrade done by the dealership. MY wife has had nothing but problems out of her 2006 limited ford explorer. The whole computer system had to be replaced at 32,000 miles and then they charged us to upgrade the new computer they put into the car. It's almost comical at this point. The transmission problem has been solved for the most part on our vehichle but it took several ford computer updates. I hope this helps!
