Engine Belts And Pulleys Problems of Toyota Avalon

I was involved in a collision where my passenger side front tire came off of a ledge in a construction zone at which point I lost control of the vehicle. There was no barrier in place on that side. I chose to direct my vehicle toward the mud pit on the right of the road. I corrected to the right causing the vehicle to go off of the road and nose dive through the first mud/dirt embankment. I expected the airbags to deploy on both side and front taking the speed and force of the collision with the first embankment and the yaw of the vehicle in the air. I was attempting to control the vehicle still at this time at which point I had now landed rear bumper first and a bit sideways on a 2nd embankment. This then launches the front of the vehicle airborne finally coming to rest in a mud and gravel drive way of an individual who lives off of the highway. The vehicle lost all of it's transmission fluid almost immediately through some opening in the bottom of the vehicle and the headlights were not damaged but after further researched I had determined that the impact sensors are actually located in the front bumper of the vehicle. 2 were injured in the accident which were myself, the driver, and my driver's side rear passenger who was wearing a seat belt but not properly. She had the lap portion of the belt on but the shoulder portion behind her. She is a 20 year old adult female. I am a 19 year old male and had mine on properly. She hit her head twice on my headrest. I was thrown into the side of my door and then the steering wheel, then back against the door resulting in bruised ribs. If the vehicle's airbag system were to have deployed properly there would have been a barrier between me and the door which caused my bruised ribs on my left side. There is a known airbag recall on my vehicle for which Toyota which I have not been notified of a solution for at this time.

On 03/22/2010 Toyota replaced a vvti oil hose under recall # 90k because the rubber portion of the hose was subject to failure that would cause the engine oil to spay out. On 07/24/2012 the replacement hose ruptured causing engine oil to spray out. The engine oil soaked the serpentine belt which is attached to the power steering pump as well as other components. This caused a loss of steering control which nearly caused an accident.

After arriving home, I pulled into garage and noticed an odor of burning oil. Upon exiting the car, I saw a trail of oil from the back of the car up my driveway, extending up to the street. Looking under the car, I noticed oil dripping from the engine area. I found that I lost all engine oil without any warning lights or sounds advising me of the problem. Fortunately the loss of oil only occurred in my driveway and garage area. My car had to be towed to dealer. They installed several gaskets, a timing chain cover, a fipg oil pan, a belt (v-ribbed), non-chlor brake c, a replaceable eleme, another gasket, a pipe sub-assy, 0i. Since oil was sprayed in engine area, they had to wash engine off. Upon researching this oil loss problem, I find many other 2006 Toyota Avalons have experienced exactly the same thing. If I had been driving on the interstate, I am sure my engine would have quit on me with no warning and could have resulted in a bad accident not to mention the destruction of the engine itself.

2005 Toyota Avalon with 70,000 + miles and just had 70,000 mile service. I was driving home from work and heard engine sounding louder than normal. No warning lights or other warning was given. Had vehicle towed to dealership. Analysis revealed broken oil pipe and oil soaked timing belt. Part is on back order and will not arrive until Feb 18 from japan. I was further told that more than a thousand on backorder. In reviewing complaints on 2006 Avalon, I noted similar complaints and apparently a service memorandum has been issued. Appears to be a defective part. Because of safety risk, shouldn't this be subject to recall?.
