2004 Camry lurches forward when stopping.

2004 camry lurches forward when slowing to a stop. feels like it is grabbing a hold of first gear when downshifting. Seems to be worse when stopping quickly.

Sounds like the torque converter isn't unlocking quick enough. Drive at 45mph,keep foot on gas and use other foot to touch the brake and watch the tach to see if it speeds up,when converter releases. Check trans fluid level hot.If it is more than a couple years old,change. Use the correct fluid for Toyota and add a bottle of Lubgard. Have the throttle positon senor scanned and check any idle control circuits. Throttle Body may need cleaning.

My 2004 Camry is hard to stop when applying the brakes and its always been that way since we bought it new is this normal for a camry?

no car should be hard to stop. go to dealer ask to test drive a newer Camry and see if it feels the same, some people who are not used to ABS or 4 wheel disc brakes may not like the feel . this could be just a condition to get used to , i know i had old cars that would lock up quick but newer cars are made not to do that. hope this helps.

1. When I brake to stop, say at a stop light/sign, just as I come to a complete stop, the entire car jerks forward a bit even with my foot on the brake. This happens EVERY time I stop. The jerking/lurching...

Sounds like an automatic transmission problem, specific the clutch. Either a rebuild or a new one. Check the fluid level and smell it to see if there is a strong odor. The collar should be cherry red. If it's brown, it's cooked.
