general problems of the 2005 Toyota Avalon

I have been experiencing sponginess in the brakes. The air conditioner stopped working, the temperature gauges stopped working, and the abs and brake light are all on in the dash. Reviewing possible fixes according to Toyota nation forum online all these symptoms are a result of an abs control module. This part alone costs almost $1500. 00 and supposedly is a very common problem with this type of Avalon, thank you for researching this further.

Please check all recalls on my car.

On 10/25/18 I was involved in a head on collision when my gas pedal hung and lurched forward while I was pulling into a parking space at a doctor's office. I had slowed down to park when my car jumped the curb and hit the building head on. It was 3:50 in the afternoon and a clear visibility day. The police report has my speed at about 20 mph. My airbag didn't deploy, I did have my seatbelt on. It was straight front end damage to my car. As a result of the impact I am suffering from whiplash and possible (traumatic brain injury), also neck and back pain. I believe that the cause of this accident was the gas pedal �sticking� and as a result of no airbag deployment causing more motion on my head, neck, and back.

I was backing into my garage and suddenly I could not control my car. It accelerated and I could not stop it. I hit the brake and car didnt stop until it crashed into my refrigerator in the garage. It happened so fast, like a bad dream. I could not control my car. I was only going approx 5 miles and hour then it accelerated to a great speed I could not control or stop my car.

The contact owns a 2005 Toyota Avalon. The contact stated that he received a recall notice on November 19, 2010 stating that he should contact Toyota in regards to his service brakes. After calling the manufacturer they informed him that there are no parts available to actually start the recall repair. The contact was concerned about the safety risk since it had been over a month since he received his notice. There are no failures at this time. The VIN was not available.

I was getting into a turn lane which had a red light, there were no cars ahead of me. When I hit the brakes to stop the car a 2005 Toyota Avalon would not stop. I put the shift in neutral and then in park and then turned the key of and got it by another car and my car still kept going, although it did slow down and stop after being hit. I brought this same car in for the recall fix on Feb 24 2010. And this happened after the recall fix.

We have a possible brake pedal interference and a variable value timing issue on our 2005 Toyota Avalon.

The contact owns a 2005 Toyota Avalon. While driving at speeds of 35 mph, a vehicle preceeding vehicle depressed the brakes suddenly to avoid hitting an animal in the street. The contact attempted to depress the brakes, however the brakes did not catch in time and she crashed into the vehicle. The police arrived and a report was filed. There were no injuries. On a separate occasion, while driving at speeds of less than 40 mph, a deer ran out in front of the vehicle and she attempted to stop by depressing the brakes. The brakes did not provide adequate stopping and she crashed into a guard rail, causing moderate damage to the front passenger's side. She was involved in two additional crashes where she attempted to depress the brakes and they would not engage or were slow to engage. Neither the manufacturer or local dealer were contacted to report the failure. The failure and current mileages were 108,000.

I was rear ended by a 2005 Toyota Avalon. The owner said she had brought the car in bc of the brakes and they told her there was nothing wrong. When she hit me, she had problems stopping the car. I am now permanently injured.

Parking '05 Avalon when it accelerated & rear-ended a SUV even though I was braking resulting in almost $3000 in damage. It has not happened since. Hoping to have gas pedal repaired at Toyota dealer when available. Was not aware of mfg defect that might have been responsible until recently. Insurance premiums were increased due to 'at fault' clause.

I had multiple incidences of my car surging in my Toyota Avalon. I would put my foot on the brake but the car wouldn't stop but would surge forward. At first this didn't scare me and I got a little used to it actually so that I thought I could handle it. But it kept getting worse. I drove on the highway between iowa city and cedar rapids a lot. I would always use cruise control. I would say it happened to me 10-15 times on the highway between cedar rapids and iowa city. I remember coming very close to rear ending someone when I had to slow down to exit but the car wouldn't slow down.

Transmission lags then jumps forward, transmission slips at low speeds never seems to find a gear. Steering at speeds below 40 will jerk left or right depending on the road. (scares you to death) brakes have grabbed and jerked the car from day one the dealership ground the rotors to fix this but it has not resolved the problem. The car has had the power steering hose replaced because it leaked and it still does. The cd player skip while your parked, the steering wheel needed to be replaced. We have had this car in to the dealer 5 times with none of the problems to the brakes, transmission, or steering resolved.
