Consumer Description

I OWN A 2005 TOYOTA TACOMA. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT DOWN WHEN I ATTEMPT TO PROCEED FROM A STOP. THIS OCCURS WHILE I AM IN TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE MAY OR MAY NOT START FOR SOME TIME AFTER THAT. IF IT DOES START, IT WILL IDLE OK BUT WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL IT SHUTS DOWN. AFTER CONTINUALLY STARTING FOR A FEW TIMES IT MAY RUN OK FOR A WHILE. I HAD IT SERVICED AT A DEALER THE FIRST TIME AND THEY ENDED UP REPLACING THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. IT WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT 3-4 MONTHS BUT THEN BEGAN DOING IT AGAIN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AT THE DEALER AGAIN AND THEY FIND NOTHING WRONG. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME ABOUT 6 OR 7 TIMES NOW. *TR
