I purchased my truck from Toyota of waldorf on July 19, 2007. On the way home from the dealer I noted a severe wind whistle at approximately 60 mph and above. At this time the truck had 800 miles on it. The following day, August 16, 2007, while driving the truck I stopped for a red traffic signal. While stopped at the signal the truck remained in drive. When the light turned green, I accelerated and the vehicle momentarily acted as if it was in neutral slamming into gear and lurching forward. Thereafter, the problem repeated itself the entire trip home. The vehicle also was shifting erratically. I also noted after the incident, having set the odometer to zero the last time I filled the tank with gas, that I was getting approximately 9 miles to the gallon in mostly highway driving. The truck also has never seemed to track the road easily. I reported all of the above problems to the dealers (waldorf Toyota) service departments representatives mary prichett and jim clemens. They had the truck towed to their facility, waldorf Toyota for repair. I believe it was August 20, 2007 that I notified Toyota in California. Nicole of Toyota's customer experience center assigned me case number 200708201412. The following day I was contacted by my Toyota assigned case manager kevin spillane. As I understand it, from mike pavin, the service manager, waldorf Toyota's is trying to repair the vehicle. Additionally I was informed August 21, 2007 by mike pavin that a new transmission was being installed in the truck. The new transmission was installed and tested and I was informed Aug. 24, 2007 by the service manager that they are still getting the trouble code and still have no fix for the problem. This is a major safety issue. I believe that someone is going to be killed unless the federal government makes Toyota own up and fix this problem. I O be killed because this some ei repairs are continuing. I still do not have my truck back.

2007 Toyota Tacoma double cab offroad 4X4. Vehicle surges (RPM increases 200-300 RPM)when in gear at a stop. Doesn't matter if ac is on or off. This has caused numerous near accidents with vehicles in front of me, my garage door and the work bench in my garage. Vehicle idles extremely fast (1500 RPM) when cold which is dangerous on slippery roads and has caused me to slide through stop signs. Vehicle idles rough, doesn't matter if ac is on or off. Vehicle has a harsh stutter shift between 1st and 2nd. Vehicle has a very noticeable vibration at speeds between 15 and 25 mph. This vibration occurs when accelerating, driving at a constant speed or decelerating. The vibration occurs whether braking or not. The vehicle feels like it is engine braking when letting up on the accelerator. This is most noticeable at speeds 40 mph or slower. It is a safety hazard on icy roads. All these problems began after the vehicle had 500 miles on it. The dealer was made aware of these issues and test drove the vehicle. The dealer said they could not detect any of the problems. Also, the original equipment tires are terrible in snow.
