 Description of the problemI recently had to push my car along a dangerous highway in the middle of rush hour because it broke down. I bought the 2004 camry because i believed it to be one of the safest and dependable vehicles on the road... Safe, was not one of the words i used as hundreds of cars rushed by me at 70 miles per hour while i pushed my car across the highway! When i called toyota and told them my problem, they sent a tow truck to get my car. Two hours later the toe truck arrives. Another two hours goes by and i get a phone call from the toyota dealership telling me that because i didn't clean my throttle body regularly, it needed to be replaced... They said that they "had never seen anything like this in 25 years.." which after i did a bit of research, i knew was a lie. Being as, i found hundreds of blogs complaining about this very issue. But i figured the mechanics were trying to scare me so i would pay the outrageous price for the new part. The service manager, jason, told me that the throttle body was so dirty he could hardly get it open and it needed to be replaced immediately! After i paid the $250 for the diagnostic and the toe, (which i was told would be covered by the dealership) i towed the car back to my house where i was going to clean the throttle body myself. When i got it out in less than 30 minutes (the service engineer desperately tried to convince me to leave it with him because it was and i quote "a huge pain in the ass for someone without my experience") i got the throttle body out and had my cleaner in hand, but it didn't seem very dirty. I was puzzled, because the mechanic said it was to grimy to even open up?? And they were not able to clean it. I had been lied to. (shocker... A mechanic lied to someone to sell an expensive part!) i read in my cheltons manual how to clean and reassemble the part and did so. Only... The part still did not seem to work right. The problem was internal, and not external. It is a faulty part.

  • What is Recall?

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
  • What is Failure?

    Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
