Lunges slightly when it comes to complete stop. Car is stopped so it hasn't caused a problem but is definitely startling.

problem #1

Feb 012014

4Runner SR5 TRD V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 78,000 miles

Car lunges forward while stopped/slowing to stop/starting from a stop at stop lights, stop signs, etc. Taken to dealership 3 times in the last 3 months to address, dealership couldn't re-create so not an issue for them. On tech suggested might need to replace drive shaft but new part no longer available. Didn't seem to know what the problem may be. I googled it and found a TON of info about it. Absolutely NO confidence in local dealer, took 3 trips and complaining to the service manager to fix the brake job they did. Tried to tell me the noise resulting from their brake job was due to variances in manufacture of brake components and to drive something else for a couple of days then I probably wouldn't notice the noise so much...really!?

After 3rd trip they discovered BROKEN component and that rotors weren't turned properly. Once those things were addressed noises finally ceased. Searched forums for solution to surge/thunk...found suggestions to grease u-joints
