Toyota Avalon problems
The Toyota Avalon (Japanese: トヨタ・アバロン, Hepburn: Toyota Abaron) is a full-size sedan produced by Toyota. It is Toyota's largest front-wheel drive sedan and serves as its flagship sedan in the United States, Canada, China and the Middle East. It was also produced in Australia from April 2000 until June 2005, when it was replaced in November 2006 by the Aurion. The first production Avalon rolled off the TMMK assembly line in Georgetown, Kentucky, in September 1994, and subsequent generations have all been manufactured at the Kentucky location to date.
Toyota marketed the Avalon as a replacement for the Cressida, a model discontinued for the American market in 1992. While the Cressida was an upper-level mid-size rear-wheel drive car with a straight-six engine, the Avalon is front-wheel drive, powered by a V6 engine. In recent years, there has been considerable overlapping with its platform mates, the Camry V6 and the Lexus ES, although the third-generation and subsequent Avalon was distinguished by offering extra legroom due to its extended-length chassis. From 2013, the Lexus ES was moved to the extended platform to match the Avalon.
As of 2013, the Avalon was sold in the United States, Canada, China, South Korea and the Middle East. It was discontinued in the United States in 2022.
Avalon is a legendary island featured in the Arthurian legend, fitting it in with Toyota's tradition of naming their sedans the word for "crown" in various languages (Crown, Corona, Camry, Corolla), types of crowns (Tiara), or other things associated with royalty (Scepter).

- Cracked Dashboards: Many Toyota Avalon models, including those from 1995-2010 and 2012, have experienced issues with cracked dashboards. Owners have reported that their dashboards would crack, leading to aesthetic and potentially functional concerns.
- Transmission Issues: Owners of various Avalon models, such as those from 1995-1998, 2000-2007, 2009, and 2015, have faced transmission problems. These issues manifest as difficulties in shifting correctly, hesitation when shifting gears at low speeds, and even sudden jerking or staying in neutral while driving.
- Misfiring Engine: Avalon owners from 1995-2010 and 2012 have reported instances of misfiring engines. This issue causes the vehicle to hesitate and jerk, primarily due to faulty ignition coils. Replacing these coils can incur costs ranging from $5 to $50 plus labor.

Vehicle year: 2012
I owned a certified, pre-owned Lexus es330 and was considering upgrading to the 2012 es 350 version at 95,000 miles. However, I found the price to be too steep. So, I started looking at the 2012 Avalon Limited from a Toyota dealer, which was also certified pre-owned. I found a beauty last August 2016 and fell in love with the clean beige interior color and the crimson mica exterior that literally glitters in the sun. It had only 30,000 miles on it, which is a sweet spot for me. The Limited version has all the bells and whistles I wanted on a Lexus es 350 and is roomier with more powerful pick up. Although I may not get the Lexus cache, I get everything and more at a lower price point. Now, in July 2019, I still really enjoy the car. My only small concern has been realizing how big the car is due to the very large back seat area that I rarely use. Sometimes, I think it might be better to have a smaller car, but not enough to begin looking again.
Are you having problems with your Toyota Avalon?
Sheridan Strosin 2025-10-20

You've had this car for 3 years and bought it with 85,000 miles on it, and now it's at 135k. It drives like a dream on smooth roads, but bottoms out too early on bumps and potholes. It corners and stops well, but you've only been getting 12 MPG in the city. It might be worth checking in with mechanics about that. You're 6 foot 4 and it's a full-size vehicle with good legroom. The trunk is pretty large, and the interior buttons and functions are easy to use.

Hi there! I hope you're doing well. I wanted to follow up on a concern I had previously shared, which Cynthia also experienced on 1/26/2019. Unfortunately, my car has been with the service team for 5 days now, and I need it back for travel. I have to go for another ride with the service personnel so that they can hear the “eggs rattling in a plastic case noise” in the rear driver’s side door down low. As you can imagine, I am not too thrilled about this noise issue, especially since a quiet car was one of my top priorities when I purchased this vehicle. However, I am hopeful that the team can fix it. I appreciate Cynthia for supporting my complaint. Thank you for your help!

Toyota can badge and sell any car, but unfortunately this one falls short. While it has a spacious interior, the seats are not comfortable for long drives, even with adjustable lumbar support. The chassis is outdated and torque steer can make accelerating and maneuvering dangerous. Additionally, the seats jiggle over bumps and the back doors need to be rehung. Although the car may have some redeeming qualities, there are many other great cars on the market that may be a better fit for you.
Christ McGlynn 2025-10-18
Vehicle year: 2005
It's great to hear that you've been able to enjoy your 2005 Avalon for over 7 years and have only put 41,000 miles on it. While it's unfortunate that your car is now in need of some attention, it's good to know that the repair needed is a seal replacement on the front of the engine block. The repair cost of 1700.00 may seem high, but it's worth it to keep your car running smoothly. The Avalon is known for its good gas mileage, and while the seats may not be the most comfortable when heat/cool optioned, they still provide a decent level of comfort. Additionally, the laser cruise is a great feature that works well for the first 25,000 miles. Overall, the Avalon is a reliable car that provides a great driving experience. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!

Vehicle year: 2006
I purchased my Toyota car in early 2006 and have driven it for 60,000 miles. Unfortunately, I have been experiencing some issues with the steering lately. Despite taking it back to the dealership several times, they have not been able to find anything wrong. I am disappointed with this experience, especially since I have noticed that many others are facing similar problems. I hope that Toyota will take responsibility for these issues and provide the necessary repairs. I am currently facing some challenges with getting my problem resolved, but I am hopeful that Toyota will come through. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
