Problem with Brakes

Alright guys I've been noticing this small problem with the CLS. After the car has been driven around for a while, whenever I come to a stop and have my foot lightly on the brake, the car jerks back and forth. This is only when I've come nearly to a complete stop and barely have my foot on the brake. Anyone care to take a guess as to whats going on?

I think that's your transmission downshifting. You are in S mode while this happened? You may want to do a search on this or W211 AMG forum for simiar complaints.

I don't have that issue with my 07.

I don't think its the car downshifting because the car will jerk back and forth as many times as I want, so long as I am slightly on the brake.

might be a problem with an ABS sensor or computer.... id take it to the dealer and have them inspect it, could potentially be a safety hazard...
