The throttle body sensor failed numerous times causing my family to lose all acceleration on a very busy highway. I was able to get off the highway and get a tow to the Toyota dealer (david maus) and they thought initially that the whole throttle body needed to be replaced ($2000+) but after the mechanic cleaned the sensor it resolved the issue thus far, its been three months without recurrence. I want people to know this is a cheap fix as I believe others noted here that the dealership only offered replacement as a solution. I did have a second quote done elsewhere just to be sure and they were going to replace the whole throttle body as well without trying an alternative. Be careful out there and get a second opinion.

Vehicle will not override vsc ( vehicle skid control ) if caught in traction, if surface was rough or bumpy. Vehicle will not accelerate until it regained traction. Toyota was notified.
