“I have 95000 miles on my Toyota Avalon limited hybrid. While driving down the road it just quit - dead stop (very dangerous) and, had it not been a hybrid, I would not have been able to get it off of the interstate. Turns out that the fuel pump stopped working with no warning. My last Avalon went almost 300,000 miles on the same fuel pump. The pump, in my opinion, is faulty but out of warranty. Toyota is charging over $1,000 to fix it. …”
NHTSA complaint #11289360, filed 2019-12, 95,000 miles“I have had a driving license for 68 years with 3 minor collisions with no fatalities or hospitalization. When I was taught to drive a vehicle with an automatic transmission, I was introduced to left foot braking and told it would result in faster braking as well as insuring that I would not drive into or through a store or building when my right foot slipped off the brake pedal onto the accelerator. We took possession of the Avalon on august 6, 2014. This first frightening incident occurred august 11, 2014. …”
NHTSA complaint #10648244, filed 2014-10, 362 miles“I was stopping in a tennis court parking lot when the car suddenly accelerated and hit a tree. The damage came to about $7,000. This was the second time this happened. The first time was 4/2/2014. The car suddenly accelerated when I was going approx. 5 miles an hour but I was on a straight stretch of road and stopped the car without doing any damage. The first time I took the car to the Toyota dealer and they could not find anything wrong. I fell that this car has a serious defect and should not be driven until this problem is fixed.”
NHTSA complaint #10651770, filed 2014-11, 1,286 miles“Received a recall notice from Toyota. The world Toyota dealership has no idea when parts may come in. The recall sounds serious, could potentially be a fire. It is shameful that they do not have the part and they have no idea when they will get it. When recalls are initiated are they not under some kind of order to correct the problem in a timely fashion?”
NHTSA complaint #10676877, filed 2015-01, 5,000 miles“While traveling at highway speed 50-70 miles per hour engine suddenly slowed to idle speed. Car would not take gas even after pulling to side of road. Engine was shut off and restarted and had no more problem.”
