Chevy jolts after stop

After coming to a stop, I feel a jolt. It doesn't happen all the time. Sometimes it's immediately after stopping and sometimes it's several seconds of sitting still before I feel it, and then sometimes not at all. Has anyone found a solution for this problem?

If it were a TPS or throttle position sensor, then a service engine soon light would go on if the TPS was bad or out of specifications.

Check the transmission oil level and if that's ok, have the transmission flushed and filled (about $100 or so) if it hasn't been done regularly every 30,000 mi.

If that doesn't solve the problem, then the transmission should be rebuilt or replaced with another with low miles that won't give you that jolt on start ups from a complete stop while in drive.

Good luck on this repair.

I have the same thing happening with my Suburban. I have found that the motion that you feel is the rear brake shoes releasing from the brake drum. The shoes will stick until the vehicle drives foreward and this will cause the shoes to release. Check your brakes and service them but it may not eliminate the sysmptom. I hope this helps.

2005 Equinox's are known for water leakage problems around the cowl and windshield areas. Water leaks in and causes shorts in the main wiring harness and eventual corrosion between the fuse panel's grounding to the floor under the shifter console. Reroute a new ground wire to the body from the fuse panel in the shift console. Find the source of water leak. GM paid to have mine fixed.

SOURCE: My retractable running board on the drivers side

I had a similar problem with my 2010 suburban. Turns out there is a button near the console that can shut that feature off and was getting hit. Boy did I feel dumb, but a little less so when the guys at the dealership said they did know about it either.
Hope this helps!

Why is the engine light not only on, but flashing on my 2ltr petrol 2001 vw beetle, and the car is jolting even when idle (feels like it will stall), and it stinks like a firework???

Your light is flashing because it is telling you it needs attention right away. Get the codes pulled and fix the problem. Sounds like a emissions. Sensor problem or a blocked up catalytic converter.

Engine stops while trying to park, car jolts when going 35+ mph.

Try replacing the sparkplug wires. These are all common symptoms of bad sparkplug wire on a DIS ignition system. I would also suggest changing the fuel filter. I tell all my coustomers to replace their fuel filter at every 3'rd oil change i.e. 80 to 90K. hope this helps:)

Car jolts when accelerating

HAVE YOU THE SOLUTION TO YOUR PROBLEM? I FEEL I HAVE A VERY SIMILAR PROBLEM. WHEN I PUSH THE ACCELERATOR FULL THROTTLE, WHEN THE 3 GEAR PASS TO 4 GEAR I HAVE A VIOLENTLY KICK. BUT IF I DON`T PUSH FULL THROTTLE THE TRANSMISSION FEELS GOOD. IF YOU HAVE A SOLUTION PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I ALL READY CHANGE THE VALVE BODY, ALSO I TRY WITH AN OTHER COMPLETE TRANSMISSION, BUT THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME.

My 2007 has a weird jolt whenever I come to a stop. Sometimes if I stop a little hard and I keep the brake pressed, once I let it go it feels like if someone rear ended me. What could be the problem?

I was driving home the other night and my jeep suddenly jolted. What could have caused it? My rear main seal has been leaking for some time and i finally got the fixed yesterday.They did the rear axle...

Last time I checked a jolt wasn't a factory option...Last time I felt a jolt, I'd broken a spider gear in the differential! That dosen't mean that that's what you have...There are numerous reasons for that and if you hear or feel anything unusual I'd have it re-checked immediately. A single jolt with no other symptoms is very hard to track down or diagnose if it left no other "footprints" behind.
It wouldn't hurt to have the shop that did the work at least give it a once over.

Truck jolts a couple times then the emission light comes on

check the water in the water separator, then check the fuel line for leaks, a leak in the fuel line can cause air to get sucked in and then the fuel is replaced with air in one or more cylinders (no fuel no fire=jake braking)
this will also cause the emissions light to come on.
these are not the only problems, but they are the free to fix first problems.
after that, it might be electrical, and have to go on the diagnostic machine at Ford

2001 Explorer jolt at speed

You might just need a good tune up. A secondary wire (spark plug wire) breaking down will cause that problem. When was your last tune up?
