Description of the problem | 2007 toyota tacoma double cab offroad 4x4 . Vehicle surges (rpm increases 200-300 rpm)when in gear at a stop. Doesn't matter if ac is on or off. This has caused numerous near accidents with vehicles in front of me, my garage door and the work bench in my garage. Vehicle idles extremely fast (1500 rpm) when cold which is dangerous on slippery roads and has caused me to slide through stop signs. Vehicle idles rough, doesn't matter if ac is on or off. Vehicle has a harsh stutter shift between 1st and 2nd. Vehicle has a very noticeable vibration at speeds between 15 and 25 mph. This vibration occurs when accelerating, driving at a constant speed or decelerating. The vibration occurs whether braking or not. The vehicle feels like it is engine braking when letting up on the accelerator. This is most noticeable at speeds 40 mph or slower. It is a safety hazard on icy roads. All these problems began after the vehicle had 500 miles on it. The dealer was made aware of these issues and test drove the vehicle. The dealer said they could not detect any of the problems. Also, the original equipment tires are terrible in snow. *jb |
