2005 Toyota Avalon

UNKOWN

I have been experiencing sponginess in the brakes. the air conditioner stopped working, the temperature gauges stopped working, and the ABS and Brake light are all on in the dash. Reviewing possible fixes according to Toyota Nation Forum online all these symptoms are a result of an ABS Control Module. This part alone costs almost $1500.00 and supposedly is a very common problem with this type of Avalon, Thank you for researching this further.

One of my airbags or out. My heated seats on my passenger side heats up on its own . I also have lots of water on my passenger side floor when it rains. My gas pedal seem to get stuck when taking off.

Dashboard and airbag covers including dash are badly cracked, airbag safety is potentially compromised if deployed. The car is available for inspection at my residence at any time. Toyota offered to supply and replace dash covers to fix this danger, but parts were never made available. The hazard remains.

Leaks. My stereo system shorted out due to leaking water from windshield area. I since learned Toyota knew about at least 2 leaking problems (in TSB’s) however the coverage was only for 36,000 miles or 36 months. I didn’t detect these issues until after that time. Now it will cost Thou$ands to remedy.

ON 10/25/18 I WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION WHEN MY GAS PEDAL HUNG AND LURCHED FORWARD WHILE I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT A DOCTOR'S OFFICE. I HAD SLOWED DOWN TO PARK WHEN MY CAR JUMPED THE CURB AND HIT THE BUILDING HEAD ON. IT WAS 3:50 IN THE AFTERNOON AND A CLEAR VISIBILITY DAY. THE POLICE REPORT HAS MY SPEED AT ABOUT 20 MPH. MY AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY, I DID HAVE MY SEATBELT ON. IT WAS STRAIGHT FRONT END DAMAGE TO MY CAR. AS A RESULT OF THE IMPACT I AM SUFFERING FROM WHIPLASH AND POSSIBLE (TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY), ALSO NECK AND BACK PAIN. I BELIEVE THAT THE CAUSE OF THIS ACCIDENT WAS THE GAS PEDAL 'STICKING' AND AS A RESULT OF NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT CAUSING MORE MOTION ON MY HEAD, NECK, AND BACK.
