“I was told by my transmission/mechanic expert that even though chevrolet made the Prizm it had a toyota engine which is why I bought the car to begin with. Then when the throttle position sensor went out he was surprised because ususally this doesn't happen until you have a lot of miles like 200,000 miles on a car. I expected better than the fact the this went out on my car and I basically had 55,000 miles.”
