Toyota Avalon owners have reported 2 problems related to coolant leaking (under the engine and engine cooling category). The most recently reported issues are listed below. Also please check out the statistics and reliability analysis of Toyota Avalon based on all problems reported for the Avalon.
I've noticed that sometimes I smell something burning, electrical, coolant or something. My mechanics finds no leaks, but I checked once and the coolant reservoir was empty, find no leaks. Somehow, the passenger side rear mud flap came off and the trunk lid doesn't line up. It always looks like it's partially opened. When driving I hear and feel rattling sounds that sounds and feels like the front passenger side suspension or body panels. More like the suspension. The person I bought it from had it serviced regularly and had timing chain, O2 sensor, anti-lock brakes checked and fixed or replaced. They also had it completely checked out and anything wrong was fixed. It also gets very poor gas mileage. The steering also doesn't feel quite right, can't really explain that very well, other than it's no quite right. Also, for some reason the battery wouldn't start the car one day and we checked the battery and the cells were dry.

I purchased this certified used Avalon 04/26/2005 with the certified warranty expiring on 04/26/2012 or 100,000 miles. At 74,000 miles it had to be repaired at findlay Toyota for engine oil leak at timing chain cover. I paid $235. 94, insurance paid $1530. 93. At 99,983 miles the same oil leak had to be repaired again at desert Toyota, scion. They stated "found used cover and upper oil pan has been replaced and not sealed properly, also coolant hoses not sealed properly". For this repair I paid $2957. 23. The car started leaking again at 113,480 miles and is in need of repair again. I don't know what it will cost me this time. Apparently this is a serious problem Toyota had not properly addressed. On Toyota's tis I found TSB eg019-07 that shows Toyota was aware of this issue and never notified it's customers. I should be reimbursed for the previous repair and any additional repairs required to permanently fix this problem. Please help! the vehicle was stationary each time I observed these leaks.
