Tl*the contact owns a 2006 toyota avalon xls. The contact noticed that whether she was driving the vehicle or it was in park, the seats would move, the doors would lock and unlock and radio would suddenly turn on; she believed these issues to be caused by electrical failures. The failures occurred on an intermittent basis. The contact took the vehicle to the dealership several times in regards to the problems but no repairs were performed. The vehicle was currently at the dealership for a recall repair and the electrical failures. The failure mileage was unknown. The current mileage was approximate 58,800.
2006 toyota avalon. Rear deck brake light works only intermittently. Safety issue. Suspected electrical issue. Dealer was initially unable to fix, and estimates $400+ to replace.
My 2006 toyota avalon xl has been giving problems shortly after my purchase. The first was the breaking of an oil hose followed by stalling on the freeway. I have taken it to the dealership for diagnosis and for over a week they have not been able to tell me anything.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 toyota avalon. Upon entering the garage, the contact noticed a strong odor of hot gasoline and burning wires. The vehicle is a smart start vehicle and it would not start. While being parked for two hours, the vehicle heated the entire garage and was hot to the touch. The contact stated that the passenger compartment was 120-150 degrees. He believed that if he had not entered the garage at that time, a fire may have occurred. He disconnected the battery and had the vehicle towed to a toyota dealer. The vehicle has not yet been diagnosed. The current and failure mileages were 17,300.
Car did not start for several tries. On about the 5th try, the moment I shifted into reverse, the throttle stuck and the car hurtled out of the garage. It veered to the left (as you face the garage) immediately after clearing the garage, cut under the branches of a big spruce tree on the corner of my neighbor's lot, crossed his driveway, across a small drainage ditch and slammed into the trunk of a huge spruce tree. Car stopped then, with extensive damage to rear, and engine died. Car was drivable and I drove it to the dealer, who chose to not examine anything. During the event, I had my foot on the brake pedal but the anti-lock brakes kept it from locking the wheels and I tried to kill the engine by hitting the start button (there is no key on this model car). That did not work and I hit the tree before I could think of anything else to do. I was not hurt.
