Toyota Recalls

[jambo101]

I had a throttle problem shortly after i bought the car (08 sedan),every once in a while (2-3 times a week)i'd get no response from the throttle,the car would remain in idle but no amount of pressing the gas peddle would make it do anything else,dealer changed a whole bunch of wires in the engine bay and the problem hasnt returned since

Maybe you could post the work order or email a copy of the work order to the OP. That might help if they are experiencing this.

The work order i got just said wires changed in engine bay The service manager was quit vague about what the mechanic was actually changing and kept assuring me not to worry as its under warranty

Changing wires? You have "bad wires"?

I must say, Toyota now seems to be getting a bit evasivie about the TBW problems.

There is obviously something wrong with some controler and/or a design flaw and saying the solution is just a "wire change" reaks of a public relation campaign designed to sugar coat the problms.

You have every right to be "woried" and concerned about it as it is your car!
If it was me, I would demand to know exactly what the problem is/was and, exactly what steps were taken to rectifiy the probem.
You also have a legal right to know.

I repete, it is your car!
