I brought my 4R in last week to have the auxilary line TSB performed but they ended up smashing in my rear bumper and lift gate so I haven't received my 4R back yet. Don't get me started.:mad: I will post to let everyone know how the fix works when/if I ever get my car back. :(

I don't know anything about a brake boost problem. Care to explain? My brakes seem to be working quite well.

Every have the AC on during a red light and the compressor kicks on and the truck jerks forward.

Sorry to hear about your 4 R I would be pissed too. I had them one time fix a flat during the winter after a storm and the stealer rolled down the back window a scratched the hell out of it ... Man did I let them have it what genius tries to get an item that weights over 50 pounds through a window.

Thanks. Just curuious, did they ever fix your window? I noticed the rear window scratches EXTREMELY easily. I don't want to turn every thread into a b!tch session about my dealership woes, so back to the subject at hand....

I haven't noticed the brakes lurching on me if I am at a stop, but I typically only turn the AC on or off when I am in park, or when I am moving. I don't think I have ever tried it at a stop light but I will see what it does.

The dealer should have my car back to me (*crosses fingers*) by the end of this week with the auxiliary line TSB completed as well. I'll keep you posted.
 
That jerk you get when at a stop is the infamous drive-line "clunk." You'll have to just get used to it. It shouldn't be that frequent.

That's what I was thinking of too, although the AC does make a bit of a clunk when the compressor kicks in.

Keep the drive shaft (or propeller shaft, as they call it in the owners manual) lubed and it should keep the problem at bay.
 
Try holding the brakes firmer. What happens is when the AC compressor cycles on while you're stopped. You'll notice a slight increase in RPMs when the AC compressor kicks on. This happens on both my 4Runner and Taco. At first it feels like if you're hit from behind. Some on the ToyotaNation have mentioned that if they're not firm on the brakes the jump in RPMs when the AC compressor comes on, the truck will lurch forward, possibly rear ended the guy in front if pulled up closely.

The auxilary TSB fixes the buzz or humming sound when using the auxilary input audio jack in the center console (2006+ models).

Did they ever fix the window :bonk: :headslap: yea right and I can walk on water too.. No they said some BS about it being already there. It's a nice truck but it has a lot of issues and after speaking to some mech that work on them they all say the same thing yea that haven't fix that issue yet. TOY know how to keep their REP up and dealers busy... by selling great motors and trans and cheap bodies.

Thx but every truck I have every owned I never had to bury the brake pedal at a stop and I have owned a 2001 TAC also. It a design flaw that they will never fix.

There has got to be a better way to fix that auxillary line than that! :D
