HI ALL,
HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME OUT THERE. I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2006 TOYOTA 4 RUNNER V6. RECENTLY I WAS DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS AND I EXPERIENCED SOMETHING WEIRD. HERE GOES: THIS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK, I'M PRESENTLY ON VACATION. WHENEVER I'M ON A STEEP INCLINE AND I PUT THE SHIFT IN DRIVE AND THEN TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND GO TO PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS, THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY ROLLS BACK JUST A LITTLE BIT, BUT WHEN IT DOES IT MAKES A CLICKING SOUND UNTIL I GET MY FOOT ONTO THE GAS PEDAL AND START GOING FORWARD. IT ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE A LINKAGE SOUND, FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM. I DON'T KNOW IF SOMETHING IS MAJOR WRONG OR IF IT IS A SIMPLE ERROR CODE. I'M A THOUSAND MILES AWAY FROM HOME AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE I'M STILL PRESENTLY ON VACATION. THERE IS NOT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN THE NEARBY AREA. NOT SURE IF IT SOMETHING MAJOR WRONG OR JUST A MINOR THING. OTHER THAN THAT, THE VEHICLE DRIVES GREAT, NO OTHER PROBLEMS. AS LONG AS I'M NOT DRIVING ON A STEEP INCLINE (LIKE A DRIVEWAY) THERE IS NO PROBLEM. THE V6 WAS A REAL TROOPER ON SIGNAL MOUNTAIN IN TENNESSEE. CAN ANYONE PLEASE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE AS TO WHETHER THIS IS MAJOR OR MINOR. IS IT OK TO DRIVE HOME 1000 MILES AND THEN HAVE MY TOYOTA MAN CHECK IT OUT. NOT SURE......PLEASE HELP......ANYBODY OUT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS FOR ANY SUGGESTIONS, DIANA, FEEL FREE TO ANSWER HERE OR EMAIL ME AT LHARRIS9@CFL.RR.COM
