Throttle body failure, engine shuts down, will restart in limp mode. Corroded defective throttle body. New part on order from toyota. $900 repair. This also happened in 2007 an $850 repair. I called toyota in 2007 and again this time. Toyota refuses to provide new throttle body or pay for repair. I assert this is a design and safety problem that toyota should repair or recall at no charge. I purchased car new and…

Today it happened again and i know for sure it has a problem in accelerating. Sometimes it cuts off when first…
