Power Train Problems of Toyota Scion Tc

Literally just bought the vehicle. Only to look into the history of these cars and see that they have a factory defect that was never professionally taken care of. Now anyone like me coming into ownership of these vehicles are punished for something we had no knowledge of nor caused. I was driving my car today down a residential road when all of a suddthe car jerks and dies. It would restart after that. Now mind you I take great care of my vehicles and keep all fluids to their factory suggested levels. I found out later that it spun a bearing thanks to this factory oil defect. So the money I just invested into this car is now a donation. And I either find a new car, buy a new engine or rebuild the engine. All for a problem that Toyota soo unprofessionally handled and refused to take ownership of. Now I don't know what car companies keep secrets from the public but I'm sure one that doesn't give one iota of a f!?@ about their customers would allow something like this to pass by without rectifying the issue and making it right.

As I was driving down the highway I accelerated to pass and it seemed as if my throttle shorted out. My cars rpms dropped and I started to decrease speed. I removed my foot from the accelerator and it seemed to catch again, but as I pushed the pedal again my accelerator went out for a second time. At this point and my engine shut down. I shifted into neutral and tried to restart my car multiple times while rolling with no success. I had to try to maneuver my car through traffic with no power, rolling at a speed of about 40 miles per hour and decreasing rapidly while on the highway with a speed limit of 65. After I made my way over two lanes to the shoulder I tried to restart my car and it would catch and then turn off. I waited a few minutes and tried again, it started as if nothing had happened and I continued on. I could not take my car to the shop but planned to take it the next Monday. On my way home on a Sunday evening I was driving on one of the busiest streets in arlington, TX and the car started to shut down on me again. I pulled over and turned the vehicle off and waited a few minutes as I have done before and headed home. As I was driving again the cars throttle went out completely and I could do nothing except roll down the street. As I pushed the throttle my car would not exceed 2,000 rpm's and the max speed was 25 mph. I made it to a safe spot after rolling for about 2 miles at 12-20 mph on a 45 mph road. I had to wait until Monday before I could have someone tow it away. The salesman and I did the research on the Scion Tc and assured me before purchasing the car, that acceleration was not a problem. I was concerned due to the problems Toyota was having however I did not see any recalls or major problems except airbags, windows, and the sunroof recalls. I was expecting a great car, with great safety features and durability but issues with a throttle body going out while on the highway is a major concern that needs to be investigated.

The car would stall when trying to accelerate more quickly than normal. This occurred three times in approximately 10 days. This occurred twice on town roads, and the third time while entering the interstate to deliver the car to the dealer for repair. A diagnostic test was done which produced code #p2112--throttle actuator stuck closed. Three new parts were replaced: hose, throttle body; body assy, throttle; gasket , throttle bod.
