2006 toyota avalon gas pedal does not provide power until depressed over 50 percent travel then it suddenly provides power representative of half throttle. The check engine light flashes on and off when it does deliver power under this condition. On rare occasions when moving from stopped position the car accelerator is overly sensitive and acts like I just stomped onthe gas pedal and not the slow movement I gave te gas pedal to make a slow movement of the car. I have gotten used to the way it drives and it has been this way for the past 10 months. Today the gas pedal has very little response to throttle response. I cannot drive it this way and having car towed to dealer for service. Some days after driving over 30 minutes the car acts normally with exception of check engine light illuminated.

I was traveling on the ny I-87 in my 2006 toyota avalon for approximately 30 minutes when the "check engine" light illuminated. Within a minute or so, the "check oil" light started blinking slowly at first, then after about 30 seconds it was on continuously. By this time I had pulled off into a gas station. As I was pulling into the station the engine was making a loud clicking noise. After it was parked, I checked the dipstick and there was no oil remaining in the engine. The underside of the car, including inside of wheels and brakes was completely coated with oil as well as the back of the trunk. Presumably from the spray underneath while traveling @ 65-70mph. I then purchased 3 quarts of oil, put it in the engine and it drained onto the ground. The mechanic stated there is a pin hole in the rubber section of the oil line. The use of a rubber hose for a pressurized flammable liquid system in this location is absolutely reckless. At a minimum, it should be some sort of armored or shielded hose. I'm amazed the car didn't start on fire from being doused with five quarts of oil leaking from the ruptured hose. The service person at the dealership indicated this is a common problem with 2006 avalons and he couldn't understand why there hasn't been a recall issued. The engine repairs caused by this defect will cost me up to $5000. Today I found at least a 1000 complaints regarding this same issue on carcomplaints.com and aboutautomobile.com. I would hate to see a death result in this issue caused by fire due to hot oil.

I was traveling on the I-85 in my 2006 toyota avalon for approximately 1.5 hours when the air conditioning indicator light started blinking. Shortly thereafter the A/C shut off and the "check engine" light illuminated. Within a minute or so, the "check oil" light started blinking slowly at first, then after about 30 seconds it was on continuously. By this time I had pulled off into a gas station. As I was pulling into the station the engine was making a loud clicking noise. After it was parked, I checked the dipstick and there was no oil whatsoever in the car. As well, the right side of the engine compartment was coated with oil. The underside of the car, including the inside of the wheels and brakes was completely coated with oil as well. The back of the trunk also had a light coat of oil on it, presumably from the spray underneath while traveling @ 65-70mph. I then purchased a quart of oil, put it in the engine and it drained onto the ground. I had the car towed to town & country toyota, a charlotte dealer, who said the cause of the problem was rupture of the oil bypass hose. As I had noticed the previous night, this hose is 1) very close to the ground and subject to hits from road debris, etc. And 2) very close to the hot exhaust pipe. The use of a rubber hose for a pressurized flammable liquid system in this location is absolutely reckless. At a minimum, it should be some sort of armored or shielded hose. I'm amazed the car didn't start on fire from being doused with five quarts of oil leaking from the ruptured hose and suspect the wind from interstate speeds prevented this from happening. The service person at the dealership indicated this is a common problem with 2006 avalons and he couldn't understand why there hasn't been a recall issued. The only the engine wasn't destroyed (with 39,000 miles on it) was because I was lucky to be in a good position to pull off. Today I found the same issue documented on carcomplaints.com.

March 18, 2009 I was traveling 300 miles from home in houston to covington la. About 20 miles from my destination I heard a clicking noise from engine, A/C stopped working & check engine light on. The next morning I checked the oil level & it was completely dry. Put 4-5 qts of oil in and as soon as I turned on the car, all the oil came pouring out onto the parking lot. Drove the car into toyota dealership & left it. Was told the next day it would need a complete engine rebuilt. Left the car in covington la & returned to houston. The car was delivered back to me in houston in a few weeks. On june 30, 2009 I was on another drive about 90 miles from home & A/C stopped working. Took into local dealership - told freon was totally empty. They refilled & could find no leaks. While in for this issue, they discovered that a valve cover was leaking & replaced it.

On 2/3/09 while driving to work my check engine light came on. Once I arrived at work I could see that there was oil all over the rear and under carriage of my car. I checked the oil in the engine and it was empty. I had the car towed to the dealership. They told me that the vvti line had broke and all the oil in the engine was gone. The part was on back order for 2 weeks. They could not tell me the extent of the damage to the engine until they take it apart and inspect it. They gave me an estimated bill of $1800 for parts only, not including labor charges. My warranty expired 2,000 miles ago. My car is taken in for regular service. When I called toyota they said they can not help me because the technical service bulletin put out about this part did not include my car, it was for the '05 model not the '06.
