    my 2010 tacoma double cab 6 cyl has a weird problem. i was wondering if anyone else had the same problem? i will be driving approx. 50 miles per hour and all of a sudden the truck loses power ( like the accelerator pedal hit a dead spot ) the after maybe 1 or 2 seconds it picks right up.
    it does it when im on level ground and when the truck is fully warmed up. any help ...............

    Check the brake light switch, see if you can get the brake lights to come on without actually depressing the pedal more than 1/4". It sounds like the "accellerator interlock" programming is kicking in, which will bring the engine to an idle even though the accelerator pedal is depressed.
