Description of the problem | I own a 2007 toyota tacoma double cab 4x4 pick-up truck . I have been experiencing the following situation : when stopped in traffic my foot on the brake with either the heater , fan , or ac on ( one of these components on ) the engine will periodically surge and you can feel the truck want to move forward . It sometimes feels like someone tapped me from behind. My foot on the brake pedal stops the truck from moving forward. This only occurs when one of the above mentioned components is being used. It seems to be associated with engaging the above mentioned items. I had lakewood toyota of nj check it out however they were unable to reproduce the complaint at so they say. I'm very concerned about this situation because of the recent safety recalls. Maybe there is a problem mechanically or with the software. This problem occurred immediately when the vehicle was new and continues today at 40,000 miles. Please look into this and advise me on what to do. |
