“The rear sunshade went up on it's own when I started my car and now it will not go down. My car makes a loud grinding noise when put in reverse. This seems to be a common problem for many years with the Toyota Avalon limited with many complaints on line. It is a safety hazard when backing up or driving at night. This is not an easy fix and typically costs well over $1,000 to repair.”
NHTSA complaint #11229431, filed 2019-07, 105,000 miles“2011: I noticed the dash felt soft, not sticky exactly, but for lack of a better word, pliable. 2013: while driving on vacation I realized my visibility was tremendously impeded by the incredibly opaque glare in my windshield from the dashboard. It was so bad, I realized I could make out the patterned imprint (designed to resemble leather grain). There is nothing that can be done to reduce this glare as long as the sun is out. It seriously impairs my ability to see clearly, is obviously distracting, and added to my fatigue on the trip. …”
NHTSA complaint #11365268, filed 2020-10, 20,000 miles“This is a second complaint about my Toyota Avalon dashbaord. I sent a complaint to you all in jan of 2014 on this issue. Here is my original submission: 'my 2007 Toyota Avalon dashboard began cracking several years ago. My car is low mileage and has always been garage kepted. The cracking has gotten progressively worse. There are numerous internet comments about this defect, but Toyota is stonewalling us customers. I would request that you all look into this issue. Melting and cracked dashboards in various Toyota vehicles could cause safety issues. For background info, just search the web. …”
NHTSA complaint #10807787, filed 2015-12, 45,000 miles“I own a 2007 Avalon. We recently had a light snowfall of two inches. Upon turning into my dead-end street (a very slight decline),I heard a beep. After that,I had no control of the vehicle and it coasted down the street,past the left-hand turn I needed to make and came to rest on the road. Thankfully,this was a small dead-end street,I was going slowly prior to losing power (5-10 MPH),and there were no other vehicles near me. If not,I easily could've caused an accident. After coasting to a stop,I tried to go in reverse (slight incline) to get back to the turn I needed to make. …”
