2003 Toyota TACOMA Vehicle Speed Control Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1312977
Internal NHTSA #	10902065
Manufacurer	Toyota Motor Corporation
Brand	TOYOTA
Model	TACOMA
Model Year	2003
File date	28/08/16
Component	VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Loss of accelerator due to bad throttle position sensor/throttle body. When you ease off the accelerator the vehicle will lose all throttle response. Then you have to "work" the accelerator in and out until it starts responding again. It happens on take off or anytime you back off on the accelerator. It has cut off on me trying to pull out into traffic and i almost got hit! It has happened on the interstate and i had to try to work my way over with no throttle and try not to get run over! It now happens every time i drive it. Toyota doesn't sell a new tps for this vehicle now ( a $40 to $50 part)toyota will be happy to sell me a new throttle body for $1400 and that doesn't include labor. I thought manufacturers were required to provide parts for their vehicles.
