1 Car Throttle Sticking problem

Failure Date: 06/14/2009

The throttle in my 2007 Rav4 v6 limited has stuck open three times in the last few months. It happens after I "floor" the accelerator. The first time occurred in my garage as I was trying to start the engine. I had to turn it off. The second time was a week later as I was passing a truck going up a hill on a 3 lane highway. I put on the brakes and tried to get the transmission into neutral as I tried to get to cross two lanes of traffic to get to the shoulder. I was successful without getting into an accident, but it was scary. I took the car to a dealer and they said that the throttle body had a leak, so they replaced the seal. I did not experience the problem again for a couple of months until it happened again two days ago. I was accelerating to merge with traffic on a freeway. I applied the brakes and the throttle stopped sticking and quickly returned to normal operation.
