    My 2017 with 48,000 needs the throttle body replaced at a cost of over $900.00 at Berlin City Toyota in Portland, ME Why isn't this considered as part of the engine. I've had 9 Toyotas and the only out of the ordinary work I've had to do is a wiper motor. This doesn't measure up to the brand I know ! People are telling me that it is warrantied and the dealership is trying to double dip with the manufacture on the repair. Thoughts Please.

    A lot of weasel clauses in the warranty...a Toyota regional rep would have the final say and not the dealer...as they are not a party to that contract...probably should remind them of that fact.

    Don't think it's covered. Buy and change it yourself.
