Problems with 2007 Toyota Tacoma POWER TRAIN

Truck surges forward when brakes are on but it has a mind of it's own. my toyota tacoma 2007 will start revving and red line and be nearly impossible to stop without turning the engine off and using the e-brake. there is a major problem with it and toyota denies to admit anything is wrong. this is the second time i have brought it to toyota and this time i was in a bad accident because it would not stop. *tr

When stopped at idle engine speed, my 2007 toyota tacoma dbl cab prerunner v6 will surge / lunge suddenly. although i have the brakes firmly applied, the truck will still move a little bit. i've damaged personal property because of it. no injuries (yet), but it'll sure get your attention when it happens. also, the truck will sometimes accelerate a bit when you have taken your foot off of the gas. nothing drastic, but it shouldn't do this. this is a major concern with me; enough that i won't let anyone else drive my vehicle for fear it may startle them and they may lose contrrol of it. this happens very frequently.

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. *tr
