Brake Light Problems of Toyota Avalon

On November 2018 I noticed that my rear deck mounted brake light was out. I thought it was a bulb but the very next day it was back on again. This continued for about a week so I took it to the Toyota dealership and they told me it would be about $400 to take off the rear deck just to see what the actual problem was. I have seen multiple Avalon's with this same unsafe issue. The vehicle also will not pass state safety inspections with this issue. I think an investigation should be conducted on this highly unsafe issue.

The rear center brake light failed at approximately 90,000 miles and $450. 00 dollars seems an exorbitant price for a repair. I see many more complaints about the same thing in various forums and on this site. Toyota should be making some kind of concession for owners with this problem. This can be a serious safety issue.

Faulty 3rd brake light ,this is a wide scope defect,lightworks sporadically,Toyota charging 400 dollars to fix,hundreds of online complaints for this issue.

The third brake light or the upper brake light works very intermittently. This is a safety issue. Most Avalons on the road in this body style have the same issue with a defective third brake light. The dealer wants over $500 for the part alone. The light works once in a rare rare while. I called Toyota headquarters in torrance, CA. , they suggested I contact you. This occurs when sitting still or driving on streets and a highway.

Brake light in rear window works intermittently. Same thing for a friends newer Avalon.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Avalon. The contact started the ignition, and made several attempts before the gear selector would shift into the "drive" position. The shifting failure occurred intermittently. In addition, the rear brake lights failed to illuminate. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the technician informed that the failure was contributed to the brake safety switch which was a common problem. The part was unavailable for the repair for a period of two weeks. The vehicle was repaired for the malfunction after the part became available. The failure mileage was approximately 40,300.
