Avalon 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 8,500 miles
The paint seems to be chipping very easily on my new Avalon with the desert sand mica color. You would think I drove behind gravel trucks the whole time I've had it. And I've only had it for 6 months, and 8500 miles. Looking at it you'd think it had a lot more miles on it.

Avalon 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 100 miles
There was fluttering while driving at highway speeds due to weak springs in the sun roof assembly. The air dam (wind deflector part of the moon roof) fluttered at highway speeds and caused a shock wave/extremely loud noise in the vehicle. Toyota refused to correct the problem.
