Extra foot pressure on brakes at a stop??

Anyone have this issue: I continue to notice that at a stop light my truck starts creeping forward. This is the first truck I have owned over 25 years that does this. It needs, what seems more foot pressure that normal. Anyone experience this?

 

Yes I've noticed the same thing with my Tundra, but also with my old 2006 4Runner and my son's 2004 4Runner. It's subtle but noticable.

 

I don't, but I never skip leg day.

 

I had the lurch on the tacoma when the AC kicked in. But havent had to use it yet on my Tundra. But normal stops at lights right now don't require any more force than other vehicles I've had.

 

I've noticed my 16 has a very strong pedal feel. I think its just the ratio power of the master cylinder to an idling 5.7L. If im wearing flip flops i need to press harder than if im wearing my work boots. Or are you actually talking about engine lurching at a stop?

 

Possible causes:
*AC unit running and compressor kicking on.
*Defroster is on (does the same thing as the AC)
*Possible emissions programming (engine kicks up a touch for emissions BS purposes)

Any one of these could be causing the idle to bump up a hair, creating just enough torque to overcome what brake force you’re applying.

its not a lurching at all. My truck as 13K on it, have only had oil changes from a service perspective and its done it from day one. You know how when you are at a light waiting for it to turn green and you have your foot resting on the brake and all is good. I just notice, that it creeps forward and needs a heavier foot to keep it from creeping forward. I guess its just the V8 wanting to run! It concerns me because I know one day I will roll into someone sitting ahead of me.

 

My 2018 Tundra has the best brakes of any vehicle I've owned (except my 2014 Yamaha FJR1300 which has magnificent brakes). If you are concerned, take it to the dealer and have them assess it. It should be a definite warranty issue if something needs attention.
