NHTSA Complaint #10586046 — 2008 TOYOTA TACOMA

WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP LIGHT AND THE TRUCK SURGE WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. TRUCK SURGE TWO TO THREE TIMES AFTER THAT. TOYOTA FIX THE SURGE ISSUE AND AT THE SAME TIME CREATED ANOTHER SAFETY PROBLEM / DEFECT. NOW WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS PETAL TO MUCH OR GIVE THE TRUCK TO MUCH GAS AT ONE TIME THE TRUCK THINKS IT IS SURGING AND THE TRUCK WILL SHUT DOWN . IN THE LAST COUPLE MONTH I HAVE HAD THREE CLOSE CALL FROM THIS DEFECT / PROBLEM. THE TECHNICIAN AT THE TOYOTA DEALER SHIP (HILO HAWAII) TOLD ME NOT TO PUNCH THE GAS OR STEP ON THE GAS TO HARD OR THE TRUCK WILL SHUT DOWN (HE WAS RIGHT). I EXPRESS MY CONCERN THIS WAS ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE, HE REPLIED THIS WAS TOYOTA SOLUTION TO THE SURGE PROBLEM. I ONLY DRIVE MY TRUCK WHEN NEEDED AND DON'T ALLOW ANY PASSENGER IN FEAR OF HAVING ANOTHER ACCIDENT. PLEASE HELP. *TR
