My trucks haunted !

Tried a search and didn't find any similar probs so i am asking everyone what the hells going on with my truck?
Probably 75% of the time i stop at a red light after sitting there for maybe
5 - 10 seconds the truck seems to want to take off. It jerks forward a little, most times its pretty mild other times i swear if my foot wasnt on the brake i'd roll forward 2ft. It happened the other morning so bad that i swore the woman in the Honda behind me hit my truck !

Any i deas ?? Is this a delayed downshift once the truck stops ??

 

Double cab = automatic.


Its a known issue, it happens, something to do with the vaccuum system. You'll get used to it. Research 'tacoma lurch'. For now just keep a firm foot on the brake.

 

Weird... never heard of such before

 

A/c compressor kicking on.

 

^This.

It can be pretty powerful. Just keep a firm foot as was mentioned and you'll be fine. Mine does it all the time. Get bigger tires and it'll bug you less.

Like I said, nothing new. I've only heard of one fix for it, but I don't pay attention anymore.

My wife's Camry does the same thing.

 

My 09 and my new 12 does it. It's when the ac cycles on.

 

Mine does it too with A/C on.

 

My 07 does it, no biggie

 

Your truck is haunted and wants you dead... it will slowly creep into intersections until one day when youre not paying attention itll drive you into a tractor trailer

 

FWIW , the AC compressor will cycle when either of the defrost settings is selected as well .

 

Oh my god. I thought I was crazy when this kept happening to me. I chalked it up to me being unused to the pressure needed to hold the brakes down when stopped briefly at a red light. I thought "oh I'm used to another car still, I must be holding it right at the edge of where it'll hold, then I unconsciously lift my foot a tad and it slips forward." NOW I KNOW! Thanks guys

 

I guess i just have to get used to it...thanks for the heads up guys, especially you Whippersnapper02, its always nice to see someone take the time to log onto a forum like this just to be a douche to other members.

 

the double cabs in the 2nd gen can be a standard trans.... trd or not.

 

Must be how he pads his post count.

 

Obviously...30,000 posts in 2 1/2 years, what does that work out to like 50 posts a day ??

With great insights like:

" Cool. Another one of these. "

" Search....Normal....Thank you....Goodbye. "

" I'm sure you could have asked in the other thread you made. "

" MAYBE CAPSLOCK WILL HELP YOU UNDERSTAND. I'M SURE YOU COULD HAVE ASKED IN THE OTHER THREAD YOU MADE. "

 

OP is butthurt now

Seriously , how did you not find this if you searched ?

 

Didnt use the words " Lurch " or " Surge " apparently thats what everyone is calling the problem...not knowing what it was made that part tricky.
Anyway thanks for chipping in OZ-T...your doing great buddy ! A few more useful posts like that and you might bring your post count up to 30,000 too !
