2014 Toyota Avalon owner complaints

I received a letter informing me of a problem with the pcs system(recall 15v728) and told to immediately turn it off, to schedule an appointment and the dealer would disable the system until a fix was provided. The dealership responded that they were doing nothing until a fix was available. What should I do or what should be done?

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. I tried to get Toyota management contact information (district mgr.) from the dealership but they would not supply it in order for me to draw attention to Toyota of the premature failure of a key component of the car. I called Toyota headquarters, got the same response and felt like they could care less that there may be a deficiency in their componen

The pre-collision system activated without anything in front of the avalon while driving up an airport ramp. My daughter was travelling about 25 MPH and the car initiated a hard braking with the driver seat belt tightening. The car did not stop completely which was fortunate as there was a car behind me. It happened on 10/1/15. In reviewing potential recalls today based on my VIN, I noted a recall for the pre-collision system. I am scheduled 12/3/15 to have the system shut down at the local Toyota dealership as an interim remedy.

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. *tr

Sudden acceleration on 6-7 occasions. At traffic light coasting foward with very light brake pressure car accelerates, rpms run high, have to apply "heavy pressure" on brake pedal to stop. Also pulling into a parking space, coasting, light pressure on brake car accelerates foward. Anytime I stop for light I now place car in neutral and apply heavy brake pressure.

Sunroof spontaneously exploded/shattered while driving at 70 MPH on freeway on nov. 25-2015. Loud noise (like gunshot or explosion), followed immediately by sound of wind entering car and shattered glass rolling in space above interior sunroof closure. Pulled off highway, stopped vehicle, found large hole in middle of sunroof with jagged edges and numerous shards of glass between remains of exterior sunroof and interior cover. Fortunately, interior cover was closed or we would have been sprayed with glass fragments. Temp outside in 60s, dry. No trucks, overpasses, or road debris when it occurred -- totally spontaneous. Vehicle purchased in november 2014, Toyota cool springs, franklin, tn. Approximate mileage at occurrence 9,430.

Installed new Rainex wipers two days ago. Driving tonight in rain and the exterior of the windshield has a film on it that makes it difficult to see when the wipers cycle when near streetlights or when cars with headlighs on are approaching. Seems really dangerous.

While driving down the interstate with the sun roof closed the glass for the sun roof exploded for no explainable reason.

I have a rear sunshade on this 2014 avalon limited version that was working fine until I decided to park my car outside in the hot summer in houston. The automatic rear sunshade stopped working and is now stuck in the up position. Now it is very difficult to drive this vehicle at night because the visibility is very poor at night as a result of the shade stuck in the up position. There is no other way to manually disengage the shade. I am unable to reverse at night. Very inconvenient. Please help.

Since the 13th of november until november 22,2017 I have been having problems with starting my car. Two months prior I had just purchased a new battery so when the problem started I had the battery retested twice by two separated companies .the battery was found to be good and charging like it should.the alternator was good but yet the car continued to be jumped twice a day. I took the car back to the dealership it was checked out and we found the battery in the key fob was dead. Got a new battery for the key fob it work for one day. The next night as I prepared to leave home for work I had to jump start my car again and 8 hours later I had to jump start again to get home. On 11/22/17 I tried to start my car again it would not start everything on the inside was black nothing was lit on the

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 Toyota avalon. The contact stated that the center console became extremely hot to the touch and a burning odor was present inside the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who was unable to diagnose the failure. The contact mentioned that the dealer tested the temperature inside the center console, which read more then 140 degrees. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 10,000. The VIN was not available.

The door panal rattles with no bass on at all. It's not the speakers, it's not insulated well and through make a rattling sound when music or talking is played. The bluetooth also works inconsistently. The person can not hear the driver but the driver can hear the caller well.

Pre collosion system warning light came on and took the vehicle to the Toyota dealer and was told they needed to replace a computer in the system at a cost of over $1000. Which was not covered by the warranty or my extended warranty.

Multiple warning lights suddenly appeared on the dash while stopped at a traffic signal. (Photo attached) Note: the photo does not show the red "PCS" light which was flashing. I was able to get off the road safely although the brakes did not feel normal. Had the car towed to Capitol Toyota in San Jose the following morning for repair. They diagnosed the problem as a failure in the Master Cylinder Booster Unit and replaced it. Note: the attached invoice misstates the issue as "check engine light" which is incorrect.

I bought a new Toyota avalon. After about a month I noticed the headliner falling off by the sun roof. Toyota replaced the headliner. The new headliner did the same thing after a few weeks. Brought the car back to Toyota and the put double sided tape on top of the double sided tape which is put on to hold the headliner up. The headline came down again. Toyota want to replace the headliner again. I asked if there had been any changes in the headliner and they said no. This is a common problem that had been happening with the 2013-2014 avalons. *tr

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. I was attempting a u turn to reverse direction at an island on a divided highway, easing off on the gas pedal, but not removing my foot from it completely, while moderating my speed with slight applications of the brakes with my left foot. I removed my foot from the brake pedal
