This condition could be related to item 2. This condition started last winter and is getting worse. ) after being at a stop and releasing the brakes, I get a hard shake/thud from the driveline/brakes. This occurs in 90% of stops/starts. (e. G. , if it was normal, it would do it all the time to some degree. ) there is no metal on metal noise, just the shake/thud like the brakes are releasing too hard or the driveline has too much lash in it. (condition is worse if you come to a hard stop, before starting again. ) 2) sometimes (about 20% of the time) after coming to a complete stop at a stop sign or red light, the transmission goes into first gear hard and/or the converter/torsen differential is unlocking/locking incorrectly. It will actually rock the vehicle forward. Sometimes it gives the same sensation as in item 3. (actually, on a few occasions I get item 2 problem followed by an item 1 problem.

A recall has been issued for Toyota echos in certain geographic locations (apparently areas in which the weather is cold/freezing)washington is not one of the states included in the recall. Contact with toyoya has confirmed that my echo will not be repaired. I live in eastern washington where temperatures and weather conditions in the winter are the equal of most of the states listed in the recall notice. I am concerned that I will be operating an unsafe vehicle on icy /snowy roads with the possibility of poor braking control and ability. The recall should be applied to all geographic locations.
