This the 2nd Avalon we've owned and overall I have few complaints. I didn't realize until too late that the '06 Avalon is the worst year for complaints and repairs on Avalons since Toyota started making them. It is quite annoying to have this type of expensive repair coming our way on a car with just under 70,000 miles on it. I am fearful this will continue (based on other reports on this website). We've only owned it about 13 months, but I know a lemon when I see one. Will I buy another Toyota?...probably. Like I said, overall they build a quality product. Our other Avalon (1998) has 167,000 miles on it and still runs better than this one. We've done nothing to it (old one) other than normal maintenance, timing belt and water pump (both at same time). I live in Colorado and am getting estimates of around $300-350 +/- to get this fixed. Not a huge amount in today's world, but there are still 5 more of these that could potentially go bad. If they do, someone else can pay for them, not me. So, if you're thinking of buying a used '06 Avalon, you might want to re-think that. Based on the reports here, it wouldn't be wise to buy one. I wish I could have a Mulligan (do over) on this purchase. I hope this helps.
