The incident occurred in a 2006 toyota tacoma double cab (automatic transmission) on dry pavement during congested evening rush-hour traffic in redmond, washington, usa. The vehicle was coasting (decelerating) up a gentle right-bending grade to a yield sign from southbound 148th ave ne to westbound redmond way (rte 908). As the vehicle coasted to the yield sign slowing through a speed of approximately 25-30 mph, the…

2006 toyota tacoma regularly surges forward when at full stop with brakes applied. This happens unpredictably and whether a/c is on or not. It is not idle speed increase associated with compressor turn on, and causes the vehicle to move forward- no other vehicle that i have had has done this. This is very likely a software issue with the ecu and needs to be addressed in this manner. Your previous investigation may…

My 2006 4 door 4x4 toyota tacoma has an unintended acceleration problem. The first incident: i was driving down the ramp of a parking garage when the tacoma suddenly started accelerating out of control. My foot was covering the brake when the acceleration began and when i put hard pressure on the brakes the truck was still accelerating. Nothing slowed it down, i was slamming through the (automatic) gears desperately…

My 2006 double cab tacoma trd off road tends to lunge forward as i am coming to a stop. It has never caused me to wreck but it could some day. It seems to be a transmission issue with the deceleration or something. *tr

As many many many others have experienced, i just purchased a used 2006 tacoma about 3 weeks ago and he lurching at red lights with the ac on is dangerous. I never know when the truck is going to go too far and strike the vehicle in front of me at the stop light. Also, the erratic shifting, mainly between 4th and 5th gear worries me of early transmission failure. The excessive acceleration on cruise control is…

Automatic Transmission
When driving between 50-60 mph a noise and vibration appears as documented by many others and as being reported by the dealership and toyota as being a normal characteristic of a tacoma 6 speed truck. When using the a/c unit after waiting 24 hours or longer a loud noise upon engaging the unit can be heard. Toyota and the dealership explain this is normal operation, and the warranty does not cover it. Numerous other…

2006 toyota tacoma, many times when stopped at a red light i too have experience the "lurching". I will have my foot on the brake and for some reason the engine goes to a higher idle and the break is no longer adequate to keep the truck stopped and so it jumps/lurches ahead. Pressing harder on the brake is the answer to this issue. I also at times feel like the trusk does not want to stop...when coasting to a red…
