This may be a very dumb question; Brakes

The "jerking" is likely caused by uneven rotor surfaces; machining or replacement might be needed. Do a few hard braking when it's safe to do so, engage the ABS when possible. If you had no problem engaging ABS at any temperature, then the next one is tires. Stickier tires would help shorten stopping distances.

Don't engage ABS, as it pulses the brakes causing additional uneven depositing. Brake as hard as possible without engaging ABS. A few back to back runs of 60 mph down to 10 mph (do not come to a complete stop) usually will do the trick.
