| Description of the problem | Car revs up to 2500-3000 rpms between shifts! Cannot get the idle to drop lower; any attempt to punch the gas pedal and lower the idle just makes it idle faster!! Problem has existed 3. 5 years now, and every time i request the dealer investigate they have lame excuse of "if it isn't doing it when you bring it in, we can't troubleshoot it"! Wtf? The most recent time (march 2013) the car had a "service engine" light at the same time and idle wouldn't drop below 2000 rpms for 3 days. I took it in for service and dealer found "nothing wrong" and "no codes saved in ecm memory". Again, wtf? Isn't this the same toyota runaway throttle issue - same year, same japanese car, same fuel throttle component purchased from the same inferior supplier? Dealer is not documenting my requests!! Are you waiting for me to have an accident and die before you fix it? |
