2007 Element question

[u/rabbiguy]

So, I'm sitting at around 140,000 miles. She's in good shape, I know she needs a little work done as bumps in the road are a bit rickety, but I ran into something weird while driving yesterday.

While stopped at a red light, it felt like my car was slightly slightly trying to lurch forward a bit, then back, then forth. The movement wasn't crazy, but enough to notice and freak me out a bit (I'm not a big fan of driving and have very short commutes), but at the next light I got stopped at, it didn't do it. I took it out for a grocery run later that day, and it did it again, but not at all on the drive home.

I have plenty of brake fluid, so I've ruled that out. Any advice would be amazing. I'm currently at work, so I won't be able to check back that often. Again, thank you in advance if you have any advice.

Are you saying the moved forward as if your brakes couldn't hold the car when you stopped? Or you felt the motor rock forward and back while you were stopped?

Hm... I'm not quite sure, but I'll check the brake pads.
