IN | 06/11/09 | 5.00 | The only problem with this car, which persists, is that warning lights for engine and ESC go on, indicating a problem (undefined, essentially) with one of several components in the emission system. Cost to repair, should I do so, is around $1200. Dealer advises that Toyota changed this component on later models due to problems, but it is beyond my warranty period, so too bad for me. | 2006 | Nettie G. | YONKERS

MS | 04/07/08 | 3.00 | My paint job is shameful on my 2006 black Avalon. I purchased it brand new, I have 2 other friends who own black avalons and their paint is chipping also. The Toyota rep came, I got no report from him, but the service manager told me my car wasn't cared for properly and that was the cause. Interesting that the left rear quarter panel had a dent removed and was repainted and this are remained perfect. | 2006 | Greg M. | MIDDLEBURG

VA | 11/09/07 | 5.00 | Based on the online reporting I contacted my local Toyota dealer who was awar of this problem. He said he could not repair this problem because he had to returnthe defective parts to Toyota. I called the Toyota number listed in my owner's manual and asked if the would replace the oil cooling line. They didn't laugh but were not very agreeable to do so. | 2006 | Phillip D. |

CA | 10/25/06 | 1.00 | I purchased my car new in 2006 after a week I took it back to Thompsons Toyota in Placerville CA . The Service Manager took it for a drive with me aboard. He had a long drawned out canned explanation that this is a normal condition. I am also a mechanic and know this hesitation is not a normal condition. The dealer won't do anything and I quit going back. There won't be anothert Toyota although I love Toyotas and have been driving them for many years. his can happen to any car but any reliable dealer will do something to correct the problem. I velieve everyone should spell out the dealers name and city purchased. Thank you John | 2006 | J. Gary S. |

SC | 05/22/06 | 5.00 | Terrific Car...
everthing I expected in a car...
but, was surprised it didn't have seat memory or that you had to answer 'ok' on the navigation system everytiime you start the car and that you can't plug in different locations to go to while the car is in motion. | 2006 | Ronald O. | EDISON
NJ | 04/29/06 | 4.00 | Wonderful car but there is some annoying transmission slippage at low speeds and JBL radio etc was better and more features in my '02 Avalon. | 2006 | Robert B. | CLOVIS
NM | 03/07/06 | 5.00 | A pleasure to drive. Gas mileage on our LIMITED was over 33mpg on the highway. | 2006 | Norb W. | ONEIDA
WI | 02/27/06 | 4.00 | Great gas mileage for a large sedan. I get a wind noise by the drivers door. I took it in twice. The first time a new door seal was installed but the wind noise was still there. The second time the dealer said they could hear the noise but it was on all the new Avalons. They let me take out a new one that was identical to mine, even in color, and I could hear the wind noise in that car too. |
