When I stop and step on my brakes I hear a noise and my pedal jumps, like it does not want me to step on it to stop. I got the left brake sensor and bearing changed. Can that be the problem? Please Help.

A brake rotor is warped or there is some debris stuck behind it. Both are very common problems that should be easy for your mechanic to diagnose and solve.

There is no lights showing on the dash and thank you. So I will ask my mechanic to check.

When the brake pedal jumps do you here a noise like a large clock winding? This would be the ABS kicking in due to a bad sensor which can be caused by a bearing hub going out.

Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken

Ken, I think I found out what it is. The mechanics failed to tell me or his work from before when they change the bearing and sensor that my wire was burnt. I have to take back to them I think this is the problem.

And I think this was the problem from the beginning Ken and I paid for a whole new bearing and sensor because it said this.
