problem #1

Dec 302005

Tacoma 4WD 6-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 15,000 miles
2004 Toyota Tacoma 4X4 with 3.4L engine and manual trans. Having throttle body issues. The accelerator position sensor is failing causing the truck to stall for a second and then pick back up. Truck does not throw a check engine code when this occurs, so dealer has informed me on different occasions that nothing is wrong. I was almost ran over the other day trying to pull out into traffic when the throttle body failed. This is a safety concern and Toyota needs to address it immediately!!!!!!!! what's it going to take, someone getting seriously injured or a healthy low suit for Toyota to take action?
