370z can be grabbed for around 30k USD, thats not alot of money for a sports car compared to the germans

Were you by chance driving under any power lines? There's a theory now that what's causing Toyota's issue is interference from the high EM fields emitted by power lines.

I'd have to double check. There are definitely power lines because there is a neighborhood to the one side. I just don't know their location in relation to where it all started. I'll get pictures of the where it happened too for you guys. I gotta run back to the dealer anyway as soon as I get home and can grab my truck.

LOL - in that case every electronicly controlled car should be in the ditch right now since your engine bay is full of high voltage lines (eg your ignition!!)

Your ECU is desgined to be shielded from that sort of interferance. The stuck throttle issue is the gear lash on the throttle mechanisim. Simple fix.

I agree everyone should cut this guy some slack. This is important stuff..

I'm curious, is your car a sport package option?

read the first post.

Yes it is.

sucks man i really hope they pay for all the damages. doubtful...

He already said it is a sport package.

I would take some pictures of the accident scene, especially if your tire marks are still visable. There will always be doubters but I believe you.

I had the brake pedal go to the floor and I couldn't stop in my almost new Armada. Luckily I was only going about 15mph at the time and I swerved and didn't hit the car in front of me. I had a hell of a time getting the dealer to believe my story since the brakes were working fine when I brought it in.
