Toyota Avalon pulling problems

Filed Oct 23, 2019 · Suspension, Wheels · 400 miles · KS

When driving our new 2019 toyota avalon down the freeway it wanders and moves around . The car seems to chase the small lines that are ground into concrete freeway. I took .the car back to the toyota dealership and the checked the 4 wheel alignment, which was within perfect specs. The car still continues to drift and wander to the point that it seems unsafe. I contacted toyota corporate warranty. They opened a case # 1909232297. They told me a toyota field engineer would come out and drive the car to assess the problem. I received a call today from toyota corporate informing me that they where not send anyone out. We should simply deal with the problem on our own

Car was taken in 05/2016 for recall work to replace SRS and ecu. After recall repair, intermittent pax side airbag light flashes on and off saying passenger airbag issue. Dealer refuses to do more than specified recall replacement. We now cannot tell if we have airbags that will work and if the restraint system will tension the seat belts in an accident. The additional issue is that the front springs and struts have a flaw that makes a well aligned car, pull left. We are replacing this toyota flaw at our own expense despite the presence of a service notice.

Takata recall march 9th 2016 9:30pm I was accelerating onto the highway from the onramp to about 70mph when the car kept accelerating after pressing the brake so I continued to press the brake but there was no release of acceleration so put the gear in neutral and I found room to pull to the right side and turn the engine off and put the vehicle in park. I gave it 15 seconds and re-started but it was still accelerating, I repeated this again with the same results. I left ithe engine off for a full minute and re-started to find it had reset. I then checked the floor mat and found it intacked and pinned to the floor pins.

I had to replace 6 month old tires because they were worn on the edges. I thought it was a bad alignment, so I bought new tires, had them balanced and re-aligned. 1 month later my car is still pulling to the left. It is difficult to keep it straight. Is there a recall on this issue?

We have owned this vehicle for 3 years. The vehicle pulls to the left. The dealership realigned the vehicle several times, but this did not correct the problem. We also had a separate garage who specializes in wheel alignments, earlier this year, try and align it. He stated that the parts of the vehicle that control this were switched,( I.e. The left wheel part was in the right wheel part, and etc.) when we took it back to the local dealership, they stated there was no problem. The tires are in good condition and do not exhibit abnormal wear and tear. The vehicle still pulls to the left.
