Break Override (Avoidance)

Taco Tuesday · 2024-07-05T23:52:49+00:00

Anyone noticed a distinct engine shake, almost feels like a misfire at idle when the HVAC is on? If the HVAC is off - no shake at idle. I wanted to reach out to see if anyone has had their truck to a dealer to have the issue looked at and if so what was the "fix" or "reply" from the dealer as to what it is. Also curious to know how many people have and have not felt the shake. It feels like an engine misfiring on a cylinder when at stops with the HVAC on, whole truck shakes -it's very apparent. Moreover what really surprises me is of all the reviews of the new Tacoma out there, nobody has mentioned it in their review or it's not talked about at all, yet one differential failure from TFL is talked about by the whole world. I know I've read that others have noticed the shake as well.

Hello Gen4Thers I understand this might happen to some and not to others, whether it’s caused by you or not it can happen. Throw happened when I was just chilling for some time inside the car with the car on power on listening to music. As I was ready to turn the car on the (Brake Override Malfunction) alert came up. Overall don’t rely on power on only mode but most importantly do not rest your foot on the brake or gas pedal for too long which is the biggest cause of a problem like this.
Hope y’all have an amazing day.
