On xxx I purchase the vehicle Toyota Avalon xse, with VIN #: [xxx].

I was told the vehicle had a 160 point check, yet when I check the thumb drive that was given to me by the business personnel. When I looked at the thumb drive, their were signed documents between myself and the business department of [xxx] american Toyota. I asked several of the salesperson if the car had a comprehensive tune up, all the replies were the vehicle had a 160 point check. So, I figured the vehicle had to have some kind of tune up, the 160 point check consists of a walkaround checklist. I even asked if the vehicle had any recalls, the salesperson, the business department, there was nothing, no recalls. Even looking on this website it shows zero recalls. Well, on xxx the service advisor at [xxx] american Toyota, [xxx] who called the vehicle a " xxx car ". Mr. [xxx] gave me service history of all the problems the car with previous owners and myself. I took the time at home on July 9, 2026 and notice, there was an open campaign recall 20ta02, 12/20/2019 with multiple safety issues, and since car the was still under warranty the recalls were fixed. The dealership never seemed to bothered notifying the NHTSA about the recalls. Even, mr. [xxx] informed there were no recalls. Since purchasing the vehicle with extended warranty, because the vehicle was sold as a certified pre-owned used car with the mileage of 76, 632. I owned this car for four years with numerous breakdowns starting from August 21, 2024. If the vehicle would have a comprehensive tune, I wouldn't be filing out this form today. I have paid over $24,000 to own and fix breakdowns on this vehicle. [xxx] american Toyota should be held accountable. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.

This incident has happened twice in three years. Hence it is a very rare occurrence. Both times involved the same events. Cruise control was on. I was traveling in the left lane of the interstate highway, approaching an 18-wheel truck which was in the right lane. When I was approximately 50 feet from the rear of the truck, the truck began to enter my lane. I suspect I was in the trucker's blind spot. My car did not sense the truck. The cruise control did not disengage. The brakes did not engage. But the most troublesome was that the car did not respond to my pressing on the brake pedal. I had to press 4 or 5 times before the cruise control would disengage and the brakes engage. Since I was traveling approximately 70 mph, the distance between my car and the truck (each time) closed rapidly. In the first instance, the truck tire hit my right front fender. I moved to the shoulder of the road and eventually the car braked. In the second case, I avoided collision by about 10 feet. I use the cruise control frequently and in every other circumstance, the sensors on my car have worked correctly and disengaged the cruise control and I have never had a problem with breaking. I suspect a blind spot in the sensor system but why, only in this situation, does the brake system fail to disengage the cruise control when I press on the brake is a very troublesome mystery to me. Answering question on web page: my safety - life threatening, no dealer consultation, regular maintenance schedule maintained, no warnings.

When starting the car and proceeding to accelerate the car stalls. There have been several incidents where the car has done this (each time being taken to service at Toyota). One in particular almost being hit by a truck when going from a red light to green light. Another one turning out of a parking lot and having to make sure there was absolutely no cars coming my direction in fear of being hit while turning and car stalling. These issues have been too many since I have purchased the car. This matter has been taken up to customer relations and reviewing how many times I have taken this vehicle in they continue to tell me that they have not failed to repair my car. I have continued to take the car to be serviced and diagnostic comes up with no problems in the computer system. *I also have videos and all of my service invoices regarding the stalling issue that has yet to be corrected. *.
