Longevity and Reliability of Drive By Wire Throttles

[arch_auto]

Thanks for the insight sir arch_auto.

Glad to know that since 1998 there are models using this technology. So that is already 13 years and counting. I initially thought that if the ETCS is problematic, it may become an issue for car owners who want to keep their rides for more than 10 years.

I did some googling on this topic and found out that the ETCS already contains all idling controls. So the servo motor and cruise controls are already integrated in the ETCS. What I am wondering now is, in case in the future, the ETCS fails, how much would it cost to have it replaced?

I am not sure about the exact pricing, but it will be in the range of PHP20k-25k app.
