Matrix

  • 128,005 miles
2005 Toyota Matrix xrs with manual 6 spd transmission. Sometimes when I release throttle when shifting or at a stop sign the throttle mechanism locks up solid as if I could almost break it when attempting to increase throttle from no throttle position. I coasted from 65mph to 40mph with traffic bearing down from behind one time. I thought the cables were binding but bought a new one to replace with but the cable looks good and in my driveway could not simulate or detect the cause of sticking. I called Toyota service rep in san bernardino, ca and he said "we are going to charge you if we look at it" the throttle locked up again on the 8th of this month at the stop sign when exiting the freeway.
