I have a 2006 toyota tacoma x-runner trim and it has had an issue with the transmission since I bought it. The transmission will not shift from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd and can easily be repeated even though toyota tech's always state that the problem could not be duplicated even though I have done it with two techs test rides. Also, it cannot be downshifted easily. If I am merging I cannot shift into the next gear and have had a few close calls. Also, more recently I cannot shift into reverse which seems like the same forward shifting, except I am not moving. I had recently parked in a spot that had a slight incline and when it came time to back out, I could not get it into gear and kept rolling forward more and more each time till I hit the bump stop in the parking stall and damaged the underside of the front bumper and from which I had to get some help to push it backwards out of the spot.

I wanted to write you to let you know that I have a '06 tacoma double cab and I am experiencing the "lurch" problem. I have around 2000 miles on my truck. I thought it was just me being picky, but it actually feels like it doesn't want to stop at times. I have noticed that with the AC or heat on, if I are sitting at a red light, and don't have my foot firmly, I mean firmly planted on the brake, it wants to jump forward. It will do this a couple of times if the light is red for a while. Also, if I am driving through a parking lot at slow speeds, it tends to "lurch" forwards at times, thus causing me to "play" with the brake and gas. Not sure if this is related or not, but also, if I am riding at about 34-45 MPH and then release the gas, the engine feels like it stalls, but it doesn't. The rpms drop, then level off again as it coast.
