Description of the problem | After having car serviced for the 30,000 mile service, i noticed that the car wasn't holdin power. I took the car back to south bay toyota, they test drove it found nothing wrong. Still having the problem, the following monday, i took the car to the original toyota that i purchased it from to have them recheck it, they found nothing wrong, they said they test drove it also. As a result there was no charge. They told me to take it back to south bay toyota because they were not responsible for their work. At south bay, the technician hooked it up to the computerized monitor to check it; and there were no signals to indicate a problem in the car. I stopped at tony's auto shop also. He found nothing wrong- he test drove it. Finally, today, i took it over to another mechanic's shop and i rode with him as he test drove it; he discovered that it was the "throttle" and that i needed to take it back to the dealer and have them upgrade the software in the car or double check the throttle: that is where the pressure is being lost. When you press down on the gas pedal, the system is not recognizing the pressure. |
