Description of the problem | Having issue with the truck 'lurching and jerking" with rpms fluctuationing between 500 and 1000. This happens primarily in reverse with your foot on the brake with steady prussure. I had an uncomfortable incident with a woman in the supermarket parking lot. She saw that i had stopped to let her pass behind me when the truck took a short hop backwards. She was not happy. She took my plate # and said that she was going to file a complaint with the local pd . I have taken the truck to the local dealer and the old standard answer, " its normal". The tech that evaluated my truck verified that it was in fact lurching.. I think its a safety issue and have opened a claim with toyota care. This is not a new issue as there are several written concerns in the tacoma forums and on social media. I would hate to see someone get injured. I am not an automotive technician but i believe this possibly may be a software issue between the throttle control and onboard computer |
