The transmission, while driving, has a jerky shifting motion. Additionally, when stopped at lets say a red light, the transmission prior to driving away, will seem like it engages with an extreme jerking motion, almost feeling like you've been rear ended.

Dear sir or madam: I purchased a 2010 toyota tacoma double cab 4x4 at the end of 2010. And within months of my purchase I noticed excessive corrosion under the vehicle taking place. I reported the problem to the dealership and my concerns were either dismissed or simply ignored. Approximately 1 year later, during the corrosion recall of the previous tacoma's, I reported my observations to the toyota safety recall department. This time I was told I could pay for a corrosion treatment, but no recalls were yet taking place for the 2010 models. I ask you to please look in to the toyota corrosion problem, it extends from 2004 to the present. And it is not about just leaf's that could fracture. It is about toyota failing to acknowledge a problem that was already taking place in other earlier models.

This is a follow-up to odi numbers 10444039 & 10444967. After much work on my part, a toyota factory representative examined the vehicle in question on three separate occasions. The factory represenative was able to reproduce the occurence twice. The solution or guess at the time, was to replace the automatic transmission. This was done on 3/12/12. The problem still occurs. I have experienced and documented the occurrence over 150 times since december 2010. Last contact with the toyota executive branch deemed the vehicle to be operating as "designed". Final outcome was made after finding another vehicle (just one) like mine in the state of virginia. That vehicle was taken out and driven by a factory representative. That vehicle also shuddered while breaking to and maintaing the speed of 20mph. Final analysis/answer was that the computer had a problem with open and closed loops and a temperature involving 138 degree's. No further solutions were offered; vehicle "operating as designed". As of this date the vehicle in question has less then 19,000 miles and the following work has been done in an attempt to rectify that occurence "operating as designed"; 1) front rotors ground twice 2) a new transmission was installed 3) new rotors were placed on the vehicle to replace the ground ones.
