| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: i have experienced a lurching problem in my 2006 sport 4 door tacoma. the first time it happened, i rear ended a vehicle causing $1500 damage to the tacoma and $1200 to the other vehicle. i also had a witness that saw my foot on the brake pedal after impact. the vehicle was towed to the dealership and the accident reported to toyota canada and the ministry of transportation. a third party investigator/engineering was sent to check the vehicle and found no error codes. i was told there was no problem. two months later the truck lurched again at an intersection. this time i shoved the truck into neutral. i observed the rpms climb to 3000 rpm then drop off. the toyota dealership (northside toyota) checked the vehicle over and said they found no problem. note: the vehicle had roughly 10,000 kilometers at that time. i also found myself riding the brakes more then i have ever on any vehicle i've owned. we have since traded the vehicle in for a 2007 tacoma thinking this problem is one of a kind issue. i told the dealership why i was trading it in. we no longer trusted the 2006. they had no qualms doing the trade, obviously thinking there was no issue. i took a major hit for depreciation on a truck that had one oil change. that 2006 is still sitting on their lot. to say the least i am not pleased, but don't have the means to pursue this. also the stress got to us. *jb |
