Description of the problem	Intermittently my 2006 toyota matrix xr suddenly slows down to about 20 miles per hour and would not respond to pressing gas pedal. When this happens i will have to pull up to the side and turn the engine off for couple of minutes and then start. Then it would be fine. It has happened on the highway and local roads. It could be dangerous if it happens right in the middle of highway. So far in the span of less than a year it has happened more than five times. We took the car to the dealer. They quoted "p2103: throttle actuator control motor circuit high" and will cost $1085 to fix it. I looked up the web and there were others with the same error code and replaced it but still experience the problem. After some research on the web i found that there was same symptom people experience but different error code that was covered by toyota even when the warranty expired. I was hoping my problem gets covered, too but they insist not to cover it. If this problem is a result of wear and tear, i have no problem with it. But this is clearly a defects in the vehicle that should be fixed regardless of the warranty expired or not.
