Description of the problem | I've noticed that my 2007 toyota tacoma extended cab will on occasion lurch forward while at a complete stop. It seems to happen when the air conditioner or defrost unit is activated. I assume it is the increase in engine speed when the compressor kicks in. To date i just have to push harder on the brake peddle. I hope it doesn't get any worse. When it happens as it does suddenly, it usually catches you off guard. If your reaction time isn't fast enough or you panic, you could lose control of the vehicle. When it happens, the vehicle will usually move about 6" ahead. |
