07 Tacoma problem!!!!!!!!

Recently, after my 15,000 mile service; I have noticed that when I make a complete stop at a stop sign or light; I get a little jerk forward from time to time. I called the dealer/ service advisor and he said that it is common among Tacoma's and Tundra's. I felt kind of odd about the word "common" since this is an unusual jerk after my completed stop. He then told me that it is a "slip" in the diferential to the drive shaft. Hmmmmmmmmm?
I am curious if anyone else noticed this problem and how was it fixed? The service advisor definatly described it right though; it feels just like somebody gave me a little bump from behind.

 

I have that happening on my 09 and service didnt seem to feel that was a problem at all. The first couple of times it did it I thought someone bumped me from behind.

 

My service advisor acted the same way. Like I said he said it was common. Well it is not a feeling that I want to put up with. He said that when I bring it in tomorrow Friday; they will pack the drive shaft full of grease and it should take care of the problem. I sure hope so. That is just not a normal feeling.

 

Mine does it too. I never thought much about it.

 

I have a 2006 and I swear that mine seems to do the same exact thing!

 

I have had this happen also. Mine happened at a drive through. When it happened their was someone crossing in front of my truck. Needless to say it scared the sh%t out of him!

 

To this day I strongly believe that little bump will be something larger later. I feel it almost everyday and always look in my rear view mirror (Just in case). I'm beginning to hate it.

 

Ha, the first time I felt it, I thought someone had bumped my back bumper.

 

Do a search on this. It's pretty common on our trucks.
I had the same thing occurring on mine. After I serviced the transmission it went away completely. Come to find out the factory didn't have the transmission fluid filled to proper level. problem solved..

 

I doubt it is a "slip" in the differential since I had my diff replaced with a Detroit Truetrac and my truck still does it.

 

Well, we haven't had one of these "lurch" threads in about 20 minutes so I guess we're due.

 

Sorry to bore you.

 

My 01 taco used to do it, my 07 does it and so does my 05 4runner, it's the famous "toyota lurch".

 

It is your center support (carrier) bearing for the two piece drive shaft. I had it forever and after going to 5 different dealers I took care of one (with donuts) and was able to get the driveshaft replaced....problems gone.

Now if only I could find a fix for the vibration on deaccerlation that so many have around 30-20 I would love this truck like my left nut.
