2018 Toyota Avalon owner complaints

Intermittently, unpredictably, for several seconds at a time, the engine almost quits, especially when accelerating So far, it has not happened in heavy traffic, but if it did, it would create a possibly major safety hazard. I have not taken it to a dealer yet. Just learned about the fuel pump problem that is associated with my 2018 Toyota Avalon. Plan to contact the dealer tomorrow. I have not seen any instrumental warning or notification. There is no warning that the engine is about to lose power and so far the engine has not stopped, but recovers to normal operation.. This has been occurring over the last couple of months. I fear for my wife's safety so that she will be unable to drive this 2018 Toyota Avalon 3.5L sedan until it is repaired.

The pre-collision detection system does not operate. Dealership mike erdman Toyota or Toyota headquarters in texas will put in writing that the system works nor will they do an actual test to prove that it is operational. All they will say is that the computer analysis says it should be working. It does not work and will not stop the car in any circumstances or warn you of a potential danger!!!!!

I own a 2018 Toyota avalon that is subject to recall for a potentially defective fuel pump. I took the car in 8/3/2020 to fix the problem. I was advised the dealer did not have the correct fuel pump in parts and that it will be late sept. Or oct. Before they have the correct fuel pump. In the interim, I have a vehicle with a potential safety issue.

A. Day driving impaired visibility-rear windshield: a rear windshield visibility problem exists with the 2018 Toyota avalon on sunny days.. The combination of the steep angle of the rear windshield and the light interior on the back deck behind the rear seats creates a glare onto the rear windshield. The glare is the reflection of the rear deck panel onto the entire rear windshield. It is a distraction to the driver because it is difficult to see clearly cars approaching from behind through the rear view mirror. Instead of looking through the rear window, the driver looks at the rear window which causes more distraction. This lack of clear visibility can potentially cause an accident. Toyota has had this problem since 2013 (NHTSA 10505067) and should have solved it. Photo image 5288

Checking on the status of the fuel pump recall?? Was supposed to get a notice by may but have not received the notice yet. I entered the 17 digit VIN numeber in your form but got no response.

The back up camera display clearly shows the rear license plate. Vehicle purchased may 25, 2018. The camera and display worked fine until 4/23/2019, did not show the rear license plate. Bill wright service of bakersfield, ca stated that this was 'normal' and refused to consider any re-do or repairs. Called Toyota factory service (courtney) at 1-800-331-4331 and she stated that she was unaware of the problem and had no solutions for me. Contacted california bureau of auto repair (bar), they investigated the problem and only wanted to check installation measurements. I firmly believe that the installation of the camera is ok but believe that the camera lens now shows a distorted view I have two photos that I will try to attach which will illustrate what I believe is the problem. I bel

The pre-collision braking system does not appear to work. Several times when cars in front of us have slammed on their brakes, the pre-collision braking system does not respond. We own a 2016 prius with the same feature and it always responds ' flashing a warning and applying the brakes. We complained to the dealership multiple times, and they said the system in our car performs a check every time we turn on the car and since it does not indicate a fault, to their knowledge the system is working fine. They said there are no other tests for them to perform. I've adjusted the system to the most sensitive mode (active when vehicle in front of us is further away), but this has had no effect. Also, the adaptive cruise control which uses the same radar system as the pre-collision braking w

When driving on the interstate speed between 60-70 MPH the car suddenly jerks to the right. I had the car checked because it felt scary (as if I would hit the car in the next lane) I had the problem checked through a reputable service center- the torque steering was off; car jerked with acceleration

I was traveling on I-294 south in the vicinity of, south highland, illinois traveling about 70 miles per hour. I was next to the median. There was a car next to me that was behind an 18 wheeler, pulling an extra trailer. The 18 wheeler swerved to miss a car and as a result of the 18 wheeler swerving, the car next to me swerved to miss the trailer; when that happened I swerved to my left because of the vehicle. As I did so my vehicle made contact with the emergency strip that makes a nose like your tires are flat, almost instantly it appeared that I was pulled into the wall median. There was no way that I could have corrected that with all the strength that I was putting into getting my vehicle back in the lane.

At approximately 42000 miles with no significant issues and no front end damages, the steering failed as I was driving at highway speed (70 mph) on a 2 lane road approaching a 90 degree curve. The power steering warning light and a separate triangle warning light appeared at the same time as I felt a pop and lost power and response in the steering wheel. Thankfully, I have driven heavy power equipment in the past and was able to control the vehicle to the shoulder and there was no surrounding traffic. I was able to proceed to my residence at a slow speed on the road shoulder with no power steering and an almost unresponsive steering wheel. After being towed to the local dealer, it was determined the torque sensor failed and the entire steering column required replacement. I had no warning

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 Toyota avalon. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 20v024000 (air bags) however, the part for the recall repair was unavailable.

Date of safety issue: July 12, 2023 Location: Piper Glen Shopping Center, Rea Road, Charlotte NC (destination was Run For Your Life at 6416 Rea Road - within the shopping center). Time: Approximately sometime between 1:30 and 2:00 ET Police Report Complaint # - [XXX] On July 12, 2023 I entered a parking lot at a busy retail establishment. I chose a parking space that has a curb and bushes between the space and Rea Road. Due to the busyness of the parking lot it is imperative to drive slowly and cautiously. As I turned into the parking space the car suddenly accelerated, jumped the curb and crashed into the bushes. The brake did not stop the car until it jumped the curb. I then put the car in reverse and it again accelerated and the car spun to the left and then finally stopped. Thank Go

In dynamic radar cruise control, the car does not act as described on page 237 of the owners manual. The manual states even without canceling the cruise control, the set speed can be increased by first accelerating the vehicle to the desired speed and then pushing thelever down to set the new speed." when I try to do this the vehicle will quickly slow down to 1 MPH below the previous set speed. Sometimes, the brakes are applied to bring the car down to that speed. This could be unsafe, especially on wet pavement. Toyota say the car acts as intended.

My auto high beams daily fail to work correctly during night time driving, the low beam would be on, the turn signal control lever will be pushed all the way forward. The green light on the dash panel is showing a headlight with a word "auto" would illuminate and the high beams would cycle on & off as they should with the auto high beam system. Then the green "auto" light would mysteriously go off and the high beams would not turn on anymore even under the right conditions - this would last from thirty seconds to about five minutes..then the auto high beam system mysteriously comes back on and all working correctly again. This is only on night time driving when the auto high beam system is turned on with the green auto indicator. This is when the vehicle is in motion and mostly on darker

Toyota in their ads show the avalon to stop by itself in front of obstacles and people. My test shows this not to be the case with my car. Toyota advised to have the car checked and this was done. The local Toyota dealer pronounced the car up to factory standards. . Please watch this youtube video : https://youtu.be/xetnknyb17w
