ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
A FEW MONTHS AGO I BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO TOYOTA ON NICHOLASVILLE WITH AN "OIL PROBLEM". IT HAD BEEN SLOWLY LEAKING OIL. NO OIL LIGHTS HAD COME ON. THEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I SAW SMOKE AND SMELLED OIL. THE VVTI OIL LINE WAS LEAKING AND HAD SORT OF "BLOWN UP" ALL OVER MY ENGINE. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WAS VERY UPSET. I WENT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER. IT WAS REPAIRED QUICKLY AND I PAID ALMOST $500.00 FOR THE REPAIR! I THEN RESEARCHED ON-LINE AND BECAME AWARE THE VVTI OIL LINE LEAK WAS A PROBLEM FACED MY MANY AVALON OWNERS. AFTERWARDS I REMEMBERED I HAD PURCHASED "TOYOTA EXTRA CARE" AND FREE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. I SUPPOSE I SHOULD PROBABLY FILE A CLAIM WITH TOYOTA FOR REIMBURSEMENT; BUT I GUESS THAT IS ANOTHER ISSUE! I NOW REMEMBER TO TELL MY SERVICE TECH BEFORE EACH REPAIR! NOW, A FEW MONTHS LATER, I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE ALL OVER AGAIN. THIS TIME I AM EXTREMELY UPSET. I CALLED TOYOTA ON NICHOLASVILLE AND WAS TOLD TO BRING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP RIGHT AWAY AND THEY WOULD WORK ME IN THAT AFTERNOON. I DID. I KNEW THE PROBLEM WAS THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE VVTI LINE, AND REALIZED IT WOULD NOT BE REPAIRED THAT SAME DAY. AFTER WAITING ABOUT TWO HOURS, THE TECH CAME AND SPOKE WITH ME. HE TOLD ME IT WAS, ONCE AGAIN, A PROBLEM WITH THE VVTI OIL LINE. ALTHOUGH TOYOTA DID HAVE A REPAIR PART AVAILABLE, IT WAS A BACK-ORDERED PART. DAVE INDICATED MANY PEOPLE HAD BEEN WAITING FOR THIS PART AND IT WOULD PROBABLY TAKE AS LONG AS 4-8 WEEKS TO GET MY CAR REPAIRED. I REALLY THOUGHT HE WAS KIDDING. FINALLY, HE CONVINCED ME HE WAS NOT! I DID RECEIVE MY CAR BACK IN A WEEK. SO FAR SO GOOD. SEEMS TO ME THIS SHOULD BE A "RECALL" FROM TOYOTA. I WISH I UNDERSTOOD WHY IT WAS NOT. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
CAR STARTED LEAKING LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALER. NO OIL LIGHT CAME ON. OIL LINE ON ENGINE LEAKING. OIL COVERED OTHER PARTS THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED. TOYOTA HAD NO MANUFACTURE REPLACEMENT PARTS IN USA AND STATED THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE MANUFACTURED. MANUFACTURE OF PARTS COULD TAKE 60-90 DAYS. DEALER REPLACED PART WITH SUBSTITUTE OIL LINE RECOMMENDED BY TOYOTA IN ORDER TO REPAIR CAR IN A TIMELY MANNER. CAR WAS COVERED IN OIL UNDER CAR AND WAS NOT CLEANED. MOTOR COULD HAVE BEEN RUINED HAD OIL LEAK NOT BEEN DISCOVERED WHEN PARKING THE CAR. NOTICE THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM NATIONALLY AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL. PRICE OF NON TOYOTA PART AND REPAIRS WAS $683.00. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED IN A RECALL, WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS THIS PART IS CAUSING. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
CAR COMPLETELY RAN OUT OF OIL WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS EVER ILLUMINATING. THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE AND HAD TO BE TOWED. FOUND OUT VVTI LINE HAD TSB (ALTHOUGH I HAD BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT FOR OIL CHANGE THE MONTH BEFORE) THE PART WAS BEING REDESIGNED BY TOYOTA AND WAS BACKORDERED. SIX WEEKS LATER ( I STILL DO NOT HAVE MY CAR), TOYOTA REPLACED THE PART AND REFUSES TO TEST THE ENGINE FOR DAMAGE CAUSED AS A RESULT OF CAR RUNNING COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT ASSIGNED US A CASE NUMBER BUT THEN NO ONE EVER CALLED US BACK, MEANWHILE I DO NOT WANT TO ACCEPT MY CAR AS I FEEL IT IS POTENTIALLY UNSAFE DUE THE OBVIOUS ENGINE DAMAGE THAT HAD TO HAVE OCCURRED SINCE THE ENGINE WAS BANGING AND KNOCKING BEFORE I REALIZED WHAT WAS GOING ON. TOYOTA REFUSES TO ISSUE RECALL AND HAS FAILED AT WARNING CONSUMERS AND THE DEALERS HAVE FAILED AT DOING DUE DILIGENCE IN CHECKING THE TSB ISSUES WHEN PEOPLE ARE IN THEIR SHOPS. IF I HAD KNOWN THIS WAS A POTENTIAL ISSUE, THE ENGINE DAMAGE COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
VVT OIL LINE FAILURE-AS I WAS DRIVING, I HEARD A ?WHIRRING? NOISE FOR 1-2 MINUTES. THEN IT STOPPED, AND THE OIL LIGHT FLASHED ON AND OFF. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD, AND OIL WAS SPRAYED ALL OVER THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THERE WAS NO OIL LEVEL INDICATED ON THE DIPSTICK. WHILE WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK, A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF THE REMAINING OIL DRAINED OUT UNDER THE CAR. THE TOYOTA DEALER INDICATED THEY HAD 3 OTHER AVALONS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, AND PARTS WERE BACKORDERED. NO REPAIR DATE WAS PROMISED. FROM ON-LINE MESSAGE BOARDS, THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THE 05-06 AVALON. TOYOTA IS APPARENTLY WELL AWARE OF THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, BUT HAS DONE NOTHING TO PROACTIVE REPAIR/REPLACE THE LINE. THERE IS NO WARNING OF THE PROBLEM UNTIL IT HAPPENS, AND IT MAY LEAVE THE DRIVER AND OCCUPANTS OF THE CAR IN A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I WENT OUT THIS MORNING TO WARM MY CAR. WHEN I CAME OUT TO TAKE MY SON TO SCHOOL ALL OF MY OIL HAD LEAKED OUT ON THE GROUND. I HAD JUST WENT IN FOR A REGULAR OIL CHG AT THE TOYOTA DEALER. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG. I DROVE THE CAR TO THE DEALER NOT KNOWING THAT MY ENGINE COULD HAVE LOCKED UP ON ME. LUCKILY I MADE IT TO THE DEALER SAFELY. AFTER LOOKING AT MY CAR THE TOYOTA REP. CAME OUT AND TOLD ME THAT MY VVTL LINE HAS BUSTED. I WAS LIKE THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR. I ONLY HAD IT FOR 3 YEARS. THE REP SAID THAT THE PART IS UNDER WARRANTY AND IT WILL PROBABLY TAKE SOME WEEKS BEFORE THE PART COMES IN. SHE SAID THAT THEY ALREADY HAD CARS THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM THAT HAVE BEEN SITTING FOR WEEKS. SHE SAID THAT THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER. I REALLY THINK THAT ITS CRAZY THAT TOYOTA HAVE HAD THIS MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE VVTL LINE BREAKING AND HAVE NOT MADE THEY CUSTOMERS AWARE OF IT. I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH TOYOTA, AND I THINK THAT THEY NEED TO DO A RECALL ON ALL CARS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. AT LEAST SEND SOMETHING OUT TO THERE CUSTOMERS MAKING THEM AWARE OF IT. THE THING IS NOW THE PART THAT THEY ARE SENDING OUT ..WILL THAT HAVE A DEFECT IN IT TOO? IF THEY ARE JUST REPLACING THE SAME OLD PART WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR CAR ISN'T UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE? IF IT WASN'T FOR MY CO-WORKER TELLING ME ABOUT THIS WEBSITE I WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN THAT SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS JUST SO UPSETTING! *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
ON 2/3/09 WHILE DRIVING TO WORK MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ONCE I ARRIVED AT WORK I COULD SEE THAT THERE WAS OIL ALL OVER THE REAR AND UNDER CARRIAGE OF MY CAR. I CHECKED THE OIL IN THE ENGINE AND IT WAS EMPTY. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE VVTI LINE HAD BROKE AND ALL THE OIL IN THE ENGINE WAS GONE. THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER FOR 2 WEEKS. THEY COULD NOT TELL ME THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE UNTIL THEY TAKE IT APART AND INSPECT IT. THEY GAVE ME AN ESTIMATED BILL OF $1800 FOR PARTS ONLY, NOT INCLUDING LABOR CHARGES. MY WARRANTY EXPIRED 2,000 MILES AGO. MY CAR IS TAKEN IN FOR REGULAR SERVICE. WHEN I CALLED TOYOTA THEY SAID THEY CAN NOT HELP ME BECAUSE THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN PUT OUT ABOUT THIS PART DID NOT INCLUDE MY CAR, IT WAS FOR THE '05 MODEL NOT THE '06. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA AVALON. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH ON A SNOW PACKED INCLINE, THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS) ACTIVATED VOLUNTARY. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE OCCURS WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS PROCEEDING UP AN INCLINE ON SNOW COVER ROAD SURFACES. THE AUTHORIZED DEALER STATED THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM WAS A MANUFACTURER DESIGN, HOWEVER, SOME VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH A MECHANISM THAT DISENGAGES THE TCS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 69,000. UPDATED 2/23/09 *CN WHEN THE CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE UP A SLIGHT INCLINE IN SNOW, THE DRIVE WHEEL SLIPPED WHICH ENGAGE THE TCS. THE DRIVE WHEEL WAS UNABLE TO REGAIN TRACTION WHICH WOULD HAVE DISENGAGED THE TCS. THE VEHICLE EVENTUALLY CAME TO A STOP SLIDING BACKWARDS. THERE WAS NO WAY TO MANUALY DISENGAGE THE TCS. IF THE TCS COULD BE DISENGAGED THE VEHICLE COULD BE HANDLED MORE EASILY. UPDATED 02/27/09. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I FOUND A HUGE AMOUNT OF OIL IN THE DRIVEWAY AFTER TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES TO TAKE MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL. THE OIL STICK READ EMPTY. I IMMEDIATELY ADDED OIL SO I COULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I MADE SEVERAL CALLS BEFORE TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I HAD RECENTLY HAD MY CAR SERVICED AT ANOTHER TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. WHEN DESCRIBING THE PROBLEM THE MAINTENANCE ASSISTANT INSTANTLY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE AVALON. I CALLED TWO OTHER DEALERSHIPS AND THEY HAD THE SAME RESPONSE. WHEN I GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM AND AT THAT TIME TOLD ME THAT THE "PIPE ASSEMBLY" PART IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER AND THAT THEY WEREN'T EXPECTING THE PART UNTIL FEBRUARY 16, THE DATE THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN WAS JANUARY 15TH. TOYOTA IS TAKING LITTLE TO NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE PART THAT IS CAUSING UNDO HARDSHIP ON TOYOTA'S OWNERS. AFTER TALKING TO VARIOUS AVALON DEALERS, I FOUND THAT SOME OWNERS HAD TO HAVE THEIR ENGINES REPLACED BECAUSE OF THE DEFECTIVE PART THAT TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THAT HAVE NOT INFORMED THE PUBLIC OF. APPARENTLY, TOYOTA HAS BEEN QUIETLY FIXING THE PROBLEM WHILE THE VEHICLES ARE UNDER WARRANTY AND HAS FAILED TO LET THE CONSUMERS AWARE OF THIS ONGOING DEFICIENCY. NOW THAT THE PART IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER THE SEVERITY OF THIS PROBLEM IS BEING ADDRESS DAILY. I AM HOPING OTHER MEASURES WILL BE TAKEN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM NOW THAT THE PUBLIC IS AWARE OF THE BACKORDER. I AM JUST GLAD THAT I IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM BEFORE IT GOT WORSE. THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE LEAD TO MY DAUGHTER AND I STRANDED ON HWY 495 IN WASHINGTON DC TRAFFIC, ON THE COLD HIGHWAY WAITING FOR THE TOW TRUCK TO PICK US UP BECAUSE THE ENGINE LOCKED UP. THE REASON WHY I'M SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT IS BECAUSE I SPOKE, TO THREE DEALERSHIP, IN THREE DIFFERENT STATES AND EACH IDENTIFIED THIS AS A PROBLEM. EACH DEALERSHIP KNEW OF THIS DEFECTIVE PART AND PROBLEM. *TR

CAR HAS BEEN FINE UP UNTIL THIS POINT. BUT WHEN STARTING THE CAR ONE MORNING, OIL BEGAN STREAMING ONTO THE GROUND. I FILLED THE CAR WITH OIL, DROVE THE 2 MILES TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND JUST UNDER 2 QUARTS LEAKED OUT AFTER THAT SHORT DRIVE. AFTER THEY REMOVED THE INSPECTION PLATE, THEY FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF CHAFFING BUT A SIMPLY SMALL HOLE THAT HAD DEVELOPED IN THE MIDDLE SECTION OF THE VVTI OIL SUPPLY LINE. THEY REPLACED THE OIL SUPPLY LINE AND NOW THE CAR ENGINE HAS A LOT OF CLATTER AT LOW RPMS. I HAVE THE OLD PART AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION. CAR HAS 63,000 MILES ON IT. *TR
