general problems of the 2007 Toyota Avalon

Was not informed of bad vvt or recall.

Transmission shifting uneven and some time it stays in one particular gear even brake is applied. Car doesn't not stop even while applied brake. I have to put my car in park p mode while it is running on the road to stop my vehicle. Since even I apply brake it does not want to stop.

Purchased vehicle "as is" while recovering from surgery. Could not inspect vehicle. On first drive on city street, could not slow down to make a rh turn. Brakes did not fully engage, and driver had to shift down. Vehicle entered adjacent lawn before stopping. Vehicle was driven slowly to Toyota dealership where it was examined. Estimate to get vehicle running safely: $4,719. 11. Vehicle declared unsafe when sold.

The vehicle speeds up when it want to on it own. The steering column falls all the time. The passaenger seat wont recline at all but will lean back.

Tl-the contact owns a 2007 Toyota Avalon. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 25 mph, the contact smelled a odor coming from the engine. The contact then had checked under the vehicle and saw oil coming down from out of the engine. The vehicle was towed to a independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The technician stated that the oil line hose had fractured. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacture was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 101,000. Kc.

Collision with another vehicle while making a left turn. Driver's upper and lower (knee) airbags deployed. Driver incurred severe cuts to both legs below the knee approximately half way down to ankle. Cause of injuries has not been determined but inspection of vehicle disclosed that the knee airbag containment compartment in the low part of the dash has a flap/door that opens in deployment, is very extremely sharp and may have been the source of the injuries.

The variable valve timing oil feedline was a recall for Toyota a little short time ago in, 2015 the same problem reoccurs and I was just told by Toyota that this is not their problem it's my problem I felt to understand how a factory defect would be the consumers problem.

Leaking timing cover. Service manager at jay wolfe Toyota, mo. , say that 20% of Avalons have this leak and will cost me $2,464 to repair. I mentioned that I worked for Ford motor CO and sat in on the weekly safety office recall meetings. He replied, 'it's not a safety issue', I said that if 20% vehicles have a failure rate after 7 years, NHTSA would like to be made aware of problem.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Avalon. The contact stated that the check engine and the tire indicator warning lights were constantly illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a tire mechanic who inspected the tire but was unable to determine the failure. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 80,400.

While car was in park,engine froze. According to Toyota mechanic, coolant and oil were clean and at proper levels. Cause of the freeze ,he said, was part failure, specifically a bad valve. Engine is being replaced.

I was parking my car in reverse at a speed of less than 5 miles in a designated spot adjacent to my daughter's house in quebec, canada. The engine accelerated and hit a wooden fence behind my car. I applied the brake and put it into drive to go forward and to get out of the car to see what happened. Then, the car sped at about 100 miles an hour and crashed into a metal fence of a kindergarten school across the street and hit a tree inside the kindergarten. Then again, the vehicle crashed into the brick wall of my daughter's house in reverse. A 2x2 concrete block from the brick wall that my car encountered hit my rear windshield and landed inches away from my head inside my car. I called 911 and police showed up and they towed the car and I realized it was 9:41 pm as confirmed by the time on my cellphone and luckily no children were there to get killed.

Oil line burst resulting in all the engine oil draining out of the engine.

Car was misfiring 1 year after purchase this car was supposedly a fleet car,with know previous problems. But coil pack was malfunctioning. And needed to be replaced.
