My car jumps when im coming to a stop, i replaced front two rotors,brake pads. I needed new tires so today i went and got all new four tires but i still have a jump could it be my back brakes? or do i need to change my brake fluid?
 
Hmm. Well I'm not exactly sure what you are describing, but my car has what you would describe as a "jump" when I come to a stop. But my "jump" is only the tranny downshifting when it's cold and stiff. My tranny doesn't like the cold weather :).
 
if your idle is set to high you can feel the car downshift to 1st when coming to a stop and it can feel like it tries to take off and then settles down again.
