There was no events leading up, it just started one day. You put the brake on and all of a sudden the truck would try to leap forward with a loud thunk. The longer you hold the brake the louder the sound would be. Now when you let up on the brake, it does it. Not when holding the brake down. When you let up on the brake, it thunks hard and loud forward.

I want to express my concerns with my 2006 Toyota Tacoma. I also have a lurching problem once at a complete stop with my foot on the brake. I have never hit anything, but there times when it feels like someone has tapped my rear bumper. I don't know that this is a major problem for me, but I've read that others have actually hit other cars due to this problem. This is not normal, in my opinion. And Toyota needs to address this problem before more people get hurt. I purchased this truck because of Toyota reputation for quality and dependability. This lurching occurs almost every day, so the incident date is the last day that this happened.

This is a supplement to an earlier complaint, ODI #10161327. There is a whine in the drive train at 53 to 63 mph. Above or below that speed range there is no whine. The dealer acknowledges there is a whine, but says all regular cab Tacoma with a manual 5 speed transmission have that whine and that it is not a problem. (they don't have to listen to it!) other Tacoma models (with automatic transmissions) do not whine, only those with manual transmissions, according to this dealer. If this is true, there must be a defect somewhere in the drive train. I think they are stonewalling me and feeding me a bunch of bull. They also tell me that if I want a resolution to the problem, I must talk to someone at the regional level. So far, I've been unable to find out how to reach them. I'm still working on that. Woe is me! I should have stayed with Nissan.
