| On thursday october 9,2008 i was driving home on i-95 when my 2004 toyota camry solara suddenly began to surge in speed, as i was able to cautiously get over in the median lane when it then shut off, i was able to crank it back up with no problem but as soon as i accelerated it slowed down and i then turned it off, waited a few minutes an turned it back on with no problem. since i was close to my exit and lipton toyotas dealership was right there i took the car in to get checked out, well much to my surprise i am in need of a throttle body a $931.17 part and $13.?? gasket along with $85.00 per hour service fee. now even though my factory warranty ended on the 4 of this month, this viable component is not covered under the extended warranty that i purchased when i bought the car. i have about 42,500 miles on my car and i don't drive it everyday. i am very angry that i have to replace a part that is so costly in such a short period of time, toyota is supposed to be one of the best cars on the road but at this point i feel like i will never purchase another. this is not my first one it is my 3rd one purchased brand new, and my concern is this is the first time ever having a problem like this. so i want to ask you to please look in to this as a defective part issue because when i called toyotas corporate office i spoke with someone who seemed as if she had an attitude like i have some nerve to call and complain about their top notch vehicles. i was reading some blogs about 04 camry throttle body failure on www.topix.com/forum/autos/toyota-camry/tm6gc5t4dhvfs52cs i think that you will see alot of complaints on this same issue, please check the site. i don't think anyone knows much about your site and that they should file a complaint with you and atleast get the matter at hand looked in to. i am not the only one who has had this problem and i am deeply concerned that others may and just not know what to do except pay for it, if the can afford it. *tr | |||
