Motorists and experts say throttles, not floor mats, to blame for
sudden acceleration
Amid widening concern over acceleration events, Toyota has cited
‘floor mat entrapment.’ But reports point to another potential cause:
the electronic throttles that have replaced mechanical systems.

Eric Weiss was stopped at a busy Long Beach intersection last month
when he said his 2008 Toyota Tacoma pickup unexpectedly started
accelerating, forcing him to stand on the brakes to keep the bucking
truck from plowing into oncoming cars.

But Weiss is convinced his incident wasn’t caused by a floor mat. He
said he removed them months earlier on the advice of his Toyota dealer
after his truck suddenly accelerated and rear-ended a BMW.

This is getting interesting. There were engine surge problems from the
beginning of drive-by-wires that Toyota issued TSBs to fix. That was
unexpected engine surges between 38-42 MPH on light throttle input:

"Although Toyota says it knows of no electronic defects that would
cause a vehicle to surge out of control, it has issued at least three
technical service bulletins to its dealers warning of problems with
the new electronic throttles in the 2002 and 2003 Camry.

The throttle systems on six-cylinder engines can cause the vehicle to
"exhibit a surging during light throttle input at speeds between 38
mph and 42 mph," according to one of the bulletins that was published
by Alldata, a vehicle information company. The solution provided to
dealers was to reprogram the engine control module."

Hello,
I had to buy 2 new upper control arms due to ball joints being worn
out.
I also have the Daizen bushings that go with the control arms.

What is better to do:

1)  install arms with the factory bushings

2)  replace factory bushings with the Daizen bushings and then install
arms?

Thanks,

Oskar

Started playing at various speeds the other day. Now when I insert a
cassette, it just says "play" indicates forward, then indicates
backward, then ejects the tape. Same thing when I try to fast foreward
or rewind. Same thing with a cleaning cassette that has very little
tape in it. So I guess the deck is going to need replacing. Any ideas
as to what the cost will be for the replacement or repair at Lexus?

Thanks,

J
