TOYOTA AVALON 2012 car safety problem was reported on Jan 28, 2014.TOYOTA AVALON 2012, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with SUSPENSION . I PURCHASED THE AVALON AT THE END OF THE 2012 YEAR. IT NOW HAS 16,000 MILES ON IT. THE CAR IS GARAGED OUTSIDE IN MASSACHUSETTS. ON NOVEMBER 10, 2012 (MONTH AFTER PURCHASE) AND YESTERDAY, JANUARY 28, 2014, THE CAR WAS BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A REAR SUSPENSION CLUNKING NOISE THAT HAPPENS DURING COLD WEATHER (32 TO -10 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT). BOTH TIMES THE MECHANICS SAY THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, NOTHING IS LOSE WITH THE SUSPENSION, AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS ABOUT IT. THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE THE NOISE IS WHEN GOING OVER POT HOLES IN COLD WEATHER, I HEAR A CLUNK FROM REAR SUSPENSION (BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE) LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE IN THE TRUNK (TRUNK WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY YESTERDAY). THE SOUND IS NOT TOO LOUD, BUT AUDIBLE ENOUGH TO NOTICE. THE REAR STRUTS PERFORM WELL, AND THE CAR DOES NOT BOTTOM OUT. AS SOON AS THE WEATHER WARMS UP, THE NOISE GOES AWAY. IT IS VERY REALLY ANNOYING TO HEAR THIS CLUNK AND THE DEALERSHIP NOT BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 16000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):4T1BK3DB1CU. Toyota Avalon 2012 problem was reported in GLOUCESTER, MA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 30 mph.

I have a 2006 Rav 4 also with the same problem. The lights were intermittant and usually if it was cold or if I turned the corner hard the lights would come on. The car has 50,000 miles and I check the brakes pads they have about 5 to 6 K left. I passanger frount seatbelt tightens up during brakeing and then does not loosen up ? passanger is then held to seat and must remove seatbelt to gain freedom . help - my 1999 toyota corolla power windows stop working. i don't want to spend alot of money on this car. any ideas where tostart 2009 ac drain clogged filled car with 1 inch of water. My 2008 Scion has approximately 31000 miles. I started car up and had no Radio. The clock and courtesy dome lights did not work . When i got to my destination i clicked my door lock button on the key. That does not work either. Hi Joe, the same thing is happening to my 98 4runner, the differential housing is rusty and "weeping" gear oil, as my mechanic described it. Just so it looks wet, but it doesn't actually leak (yet) or drip. I called Toyota and they said their how to replace vanity mirror, 2000 toy Camry My wife experienced a lurching forward incident while parking our 2003 4Runner in the garage. It leaped forward hitting a storage rack and causing minor damage ($3500) to the front end of the car. I wrote to Toyota reporting the incident, but I have a toyota tacoma 2007 4.0 l 35,800 miles. a/c compressor when out, is the compressor under warranty? 2010 Prius dome light does not come on when the door is opened.
