Tacoma 4WD

Vehicle has surged twice now with myself and once when my wife was driving while appling the brakes. It feels like the accelerator is being depresses. It has happened bothe time with me when braking on hard bumpy surface. Also thee is a distinct clunk in the rear end of the truck when the brakes are released after stopping. This has been in the truck since the day I got it and the dealer has been unable to solve the problem as it doesn't do it all the time.
