Subject: RE: Would you buy a new Toyota ??
My 10 year old Camry V6 is going very well. It doesn't feel as happy on corners as the Mitsi we had previously, but it doesn't balk at them. The Mitsi was always trying to get you to corner harder.
If anyone does suffer from a sticking throttle, switch off the ignition and STAND on the brake pedal. Engine-braking will stop the car, even if the brakes are non-existant, and it WILL feel a bit that way as the brake-boost disappears. Just don't pull the key out. I used to work in car assembly, and not all newly-built cars are perfectly assembled. You CAN slowly drive a car that has neither brakes nor clutch working. But it needs thought.
Not a powerful car with the throttle jammed open, though.
