TOYOTA AVALON 2001 car safety problem was reported on .TOYOTA AVALON 2001, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK . vehicle brake system is of concern. occasionally when the vehicle is brought to a stop the brake pedal will move down toward the floor a few seconds after the car is stopped. the two times i have brought this to the attention of the dealer, i am being told that this is normal for the vehicle and that all of them do this. this is the second avalon i have owned and the first one did not have the situation happen. other avalon owners i have spoken to have never had this happen. the movement of the brake pedal downward after stopping does not occur all the time. it looks to occur after driving the vehicle for a period of time at highway speeds and in local traffic that requires constand stopping and starting. the pedal movement occurs about 10 to 15 seconds after stopping but does not occur every time. this brake pedal movement is of concern sice i have been driving for over 40 years. brake pedal movement after stopping a vehicle has always been a sign of failure within the system. usually a failing master cylinder. the movement of the brake pedal after stopping is not a confortable feeling and all that i have talked to (both toyota owners and other mfg's) no one has experience this pedal movement. this includes cars that have skid control systems. i am concerned enough about this brake pedal issue and want confirmation from the vehicle manufacturer (not the dealer) that this is not a safety issue. closing note, talked to a few lexus owners, none have experienced this brake pedal movement. *ak.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):4T1BF28B21U.

TOYOTA AVALON 2001 car safety problem was reported on Apr 09, 2007.TOYOTA AVALON 2001, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . let me explain first, i can't substantiate the claim i am making about the possible cause of the accident that killed my wife when driving a 2001 toyota avalon. the reason the accident occurred is that she did not stop at an intersection controlled with a stop sign. the accident occurred in callahan county, texas at the intersection of fm 1750 and highway 36 on april 9, 2007 at approximately 8:30 pm. she drove under the trailer of an 18 wheeler, was killed instantly and dragged under the trailer for 800 to 900 fit. it took the abilene fire departments expertise to remove her body from the wreckage. the local volunteer fire departments did not want to attempt it. there were no skid marks. she had driven this route countless times and was aware of the stop sign. i checked cell phone records and there was no evidence that she could have been on the phone. admittedly she was upset. she was driving from abilene to mexia, texas to be with her elderly mother who was in a diabetic coma when she last spoke to someone. however, she was a good driver. i can't believe that she was so distracted to allow this to happen. in light of the recent recall by toyota, i believe that her avalon suddenly accelerated out of control. no skid marks were at the scene only cutouts in the payment that were caused by her car as it went under the trailer. why no skid marks? as shown on consumer report internet video, the brakes are not able to slow the car down as it is accelerating and skid marks would not have been possible. there is no other explanation in my mind as to how she could have missed the stop sign. the car was out of her control and it killed her. if you would like to have the vin, please contact me. i will pull it out of the records i have. thank you for your consideration and any response. this is such a tragedy that until the recall left me without any explanation that was believable. i now believe i know what happened. *tr updated 03/08/10 *bf updated 07/06/10.*jb.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 0 person(s) were injured. 1 person(s) died.Mileage was 75000 miles.

TOYOTA AVALON 2001 car safety problem was reported on July 22, 2011.TOYOTA AVALON 2001, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with TIRES . flat tire, jan 2011, while daughter was driving. tire was separated at tread-sidewall on bridestone potenza, 205/60/16. i assumed my daughter did not pull over immediately and that caused the separation. daughter swears over the bible she wasn't far from driveway (still in neighborhood) when she realized she had a flat and pulled over immediately. the separation between tread and sidewall had me doubt my daughter, at least until july 2011. july 2011, took same vehicle to the same dealer that replaced the flat in january, (auto tire of st. louis), for tire rotation, balance, and alignment due to excessive vibration in steering wheel. auto tire immediately called me to state that three of my tires, (bridestone potenza, 205/60/16) were defective and need to be replaced. i asked dealer to show me the defect and the defect was exactly the same as the tire that was replaced in january, except not as severe - meaning the separation was only a few inches in length and separation was much longer on the tire that had gone flat. in january, i assumed the separation was caused by daughter driving after tire had gone flat. i did not suspect it to be a defective tire since bridgestone is a reputable company. the defects on the three tires replaced at no charge in july 2011 were identical to what was observed on the tire replaced in january 2011. the dealer, auto tire, did not make a warranty claim to bridgestone in jan 2011as they should have, they treated it as a flat replacement and not a defect and bridgestone would not compensate me for the flat tire i replaced. so why am i filing this complaint? to warn other consumers that bridgestone is aware they have a defective lot of bridestone potenza, 205/60/16 and as a consumer you may have a flat and not know that it should be considered a warranty defect. *tr.Mileage was 154657 miles.
