Description of the problem | Whom it may concern: my wife and i bought our 2009 camry for safety. So we could feel safe taking our children to their sporting events, school, etc. We have been experiencing the throttle sticking issue. The entire time we have had the car. First at 10,000 miles, 18,000 miles, 33,123 miles, 36,000 miles, and 38,500. My wife took the car in the third time at 33,123 miles to thompson toyota in edgewood md insisting it wasn't the floor mats. They insisted it was the floor mats even though my wife said other wise. The ran a diagnostic on the problem and couldn't find anything. They blamed it on a dirty air filter and carbon build up on the throttle body. My wife requested to be taken back and be shown this, they refused to show her the dirty throttle body. Tompson toyota wanted to charge my wife $200 to perform this service. She called me and i told her to bring the car home. The fifth time it happened at 38,500 miles on the car. My wife and i were driving to the grocery story when the car accelerated to 80mph. On the last two occasions this happened the floor mats were out.*cw |
