The rear trunk lid arms broken lid feel on top of me.
The rear sun screen will get stuck in the up position . At night there is almost no visibility out of the back window. This is a very dangerous safety problem. Apparently Toyota has had a problem with this feature with no effort made to correct it.
Telescoping steering column lock loosens while driving causing steering wheel and brakes to shake. Advised my local Toyota dealer and they said it was not covered under warranty but I could pay them to repair the issue with a upgraded repair that Toyota has identified. A notice was never sent out to Toyota owners. This should be a recall notice. Safety issue while driving. Service bulletin (#00206, NHTSA # 10019669) they now inform me of a known issue with the telescopic lever detent clip and a technical service bulletin TSB-0147-13 and also that Toyota had a warranty enhancement program - zty to address it which expired in September of 2019. I don't understand how this is not a safety recall that Toyota should continue to stand behind.
2011 Toyota Avalon limited with 80,000 miles. The rear sunshade has begun operating on its own. It raises and lowers without my pushing button, it does this during daylight and at night. Hinders backing, especially at night. I have read on the "net" this is typical at this mileage.
This Toyota was in a six (6) car traffic crash list than 5 miles an hour. Air bags did not go off. This car was number 5. Cars were slowing down for a red light. This car had front end and rear end damage. This car maybe total. One body shop person said it was totaled. Air bag in six car did go off which did hit this car in the rear end. The front of this car has heavy damage. This was less than 5 miles an hour.
On 3/25/15 the front passenger door locked and could not be unlocked with fob or switch on drivers door. After about 5-10 minutes it unlocked. Since then they same thing has happened to both rear doors at same time. When hitting the unlock button on fob the door beeps several times, but does not unlock. I gave up trying to unlock it and went to my next destination. After coming out, the rear door unlocked normally. I never know now when the doors will unlock, and am afraid I will get totally locked in or out at some point. I have an appt. On Thursday at Toyota to have it checked out. Hopefully they can find the cause. I have read online that it could be a fuse, bad relay or wiring issue. We shall see what they say.
February 25, 2014, I arrived for my 2 p. M. Doctor's appt and drove very slowly into a parking space. I was constantly braking because the Toyota Avalon sport 2011 has lots of low trim in the front of the car and I did not want to scratch the car. I kept my foot on the brake, stopped the car, then opened the door to check the white line to see if I was in my parking space. Then, the motor began accelerating very rapidly. Before I could turn the engine off, the car lunged forward and I felt like I was airborne. Within seconds, the car hit the very tall heavy metal and glass doors of the doctor's office and stopped. The car was covered with glass. The metal doors of the office were damaged. Please note, the airbags did not deploy. The entire front of the car: grill, headlights, fenders and hood were damaged. Thankfully no one was injured.
