Two problems related to cruise control have been reported for the 1998 Toyota Tacoma. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Vehicle was at complete stop with air condtioner on, idle kicked in & lurched the vehicle forward. Took vehicle to dealer twice. The trottle sensor was replaced the first time. The second time consumer was informed by mechanic it was the normal operation of the vehicle.
Cruise control is dangerous, when turned on 90% of time it wont enage when button is pressed, if you do not turn power to unit off, it will engage at random and cause great surprise and danger to the driver. Complained to dealer 5 times, unit has been replaced, but same problem with replacement. Manufactuer of truck's only response"all problems are handled by dealers". This is a dangerous situation and needs to be investigated.
