My 2008 toyota tacoma tends to surge when downshifting. This causes the pickup to "jump", particularly when coming to a stop. I took it to the dealer, downtown toyota of spokane, but they could find nothing wrong - surprise! I was told that the air conditioner could cause the problem when it kicked on, but the air conditioner nor the heater/defroster has been on when the surges occurred. The incident date is the…
