I have a 1999 ford taurus. With in the last week I noticed when Im at a stoplight, completely stopped with my foot on the break, my car starts bucking occasionally after about maybe 10 seconds. I dont hear anything unusual, smell any ordors, and the bucking does not occur any other times except when Im complete stopped with my foot on the break for more than 10 seconds. Does anyone know what this could be? I do have a need for brake pads and rotor.. could this cause bucking even at a complete stop? Any help would be wonderful!

thanks!

Do you mean that the brakes start to let go if so you have a leak in your brake line from the booster to your wheels

it actually feels more like the engine wants to turn off or something is getting clogged and shouldnt be.. but its only when Im pressing the brakes for more than a few seconds. One of my friends who knows not much about cars said it could be bad gasoline?

well thank you pantera for your help! I so didn't want to drop a bunch of money on brakes and rotors but it looks like Im going to have to.. and the brake line as you say it might be.. I did notice yesterday it does it when Im in park too without my foot on the brake?? Any idea what else it could be?

check to see if you might have any vacuum leaks. If you have a vacuum leak in the brake booster, you may not notice it until you apply the brakes. might be something to check.
