Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The throttle body sensor failed numerous times causing my family to lose all acceleration on a very busy highway. i was able to get off the highway and get a tow to the toyota dealer (david maus) and they thought initially that the whole throttle body needed to be replaced ($2000+) but after the mechanic cleaned the sensor it resolved the issue thus far, its been three months without recurrence. i want people to know this is a cheap fix as i believe others noted here that the dealership only offered replacement as a solution. i did have a second quote done elsewhere just to be sure and they were going to replace the whole throttle body as well without trying an alternative. be careful out there and get a second opinion. *tr
