1 Car Throttle Sticking problem of the 2005 Toyota Matrix

Failure Date: 12/16/2009

At several places (all slight upgrades, constant speed, constant throttle), about 5-10% of the time, throttle sticks. Releases after 3 - 5 seconds if I do not brake, about 2 seconds after braking if I do. Has been happening for over 70,000 miles, dealer service manager said it was a gas-saving feature. I now anticipate it happening, so have had no accident, but a few close calls early on. 2005 Toyota Matrix 4wd, now with 95,000 miles.
