Blind spot monitor sensors not positioned properly, cause bsm and rcta to have issues dealer said their was a TSB for it but that they couldn't cover it and I need to pay out of pocket to fix a defective safety system

After seeing a news report about a fuel pump recall in Toyota avalons, I checked my VIN on the NHTSA website and, indeed, my vehicle is included in the recall. I immediately contacted my salesperson at the Toyota dealership and asked him to check on the recall resolution. He responded that there was no remedy available yet. Since the recall occurred in january 2020, it is unacceptable that there is no remedy yet. I have never received any documentation or correspondence from Toyota regarding this recall. I am a senior citizen with impaired health who lives alone. It is critical that I have a safe vehicle to drive to my frequent medical appointments. That is why I purchased this vehicle in the first place. I do have to drive on highways in order to get to these appointments and this

At 3600 miles, while driving on a city street, can check engine light came on plus all the other warning lights and malfunction messages about every sensor in the car, car lost power and acceleration, engine starts sometimes only. Dealer diagnosis was a full tank of e85 gas, gas station does not sell that and no any other complaint of e85. Did my own testing, doesn't seem like any ethanol in gas. I saved all the gas for further testing. I complained to Toyota corp but they stood by and supported the dealer diagnosis. Gas station insurance carrier denied the claim. Even if it was e85 gas, this shouldn't have all this impact on this avalon and its computer system.

I was pulling into a parking space when the car suddenly accelerated, jumped the curb and hit a tree. The car has auto-braking but this system did not function to stop the car.

Tl* the contact owns a 2019 Toyota avalon. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 20v012000 (fuel system, gasoline) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated while turning into her neighbors driveway, when the vehicle began to stall and then accelerated forward. The contact lost control of the vehicle and crashed into the neighbors metal fence. The contact stated an unknown red sign warning light was illuminated. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was not filed. The contact did not sustain any injuries or seek medical attention. The vehicle was towed to repair facility and had cosmetic repairs. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of failure. The failure mileage was approximately 6,240.

The 12.3 in Bird's Eye system with backup camera produces a "black screen" when in reverse and when viewing the forward camera when parking. When driving in snow or rain, the collision warning system becomes unavailable due to the precipitation. I believe these are two separate, but related issues. I also believe that these issues have been observed in other Toyota models which have active recalls in place for the same issue. I took the vehicle to the dealership (Spartan Toyota Lansing, MI) and they were unable to diagnose or resolve the problem. I also reported the issue to Toyota Customer service, pending any resolution. So an ongoing safety issue persists without resolve (ie no required backup camera and also the collision avoidance systems problem during snow or heavy rain).

On the morning of Sept. 28, 2022, after my wife arrived home from work the previous night, and as I walked past her car, I heard the fuel pump running. The engine was not running, all switches were off and the doors were locked. I retrieved the key fob for the car, unlocked the doors, and entered the car. Upon pushing the start button, the fuel pump shut off, then the engine started. I let it run for one minute then shut the engine off. At this time the fuel pump shut off as well. To my knowledge the fuel pump has not continued to run, after the engine was shut off, since then. There have been 2 NHTSA Campaigns recalling the fuel pumps on these vehicles, # 20V01200 and # 20V68200. When I contacted the dealership where she purchased the Avalon in January 2022 the service adviser stated th

The contact owns a 2019 Toyota Avalon. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, several unknown warning lights illuminated, and the engine seized. The contact stated that a good Samaritan attempted to start the vehicle, but the vehicle failed to restart. The contact waited for thirty minutes and stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle restarted. The vehicle was taken directly to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle had previously experienced several failures since July 2025. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer several times, and the oxygen sensor, the oil light sensor, the ignition coils, and the fuel pump extensio

When starting the vehicle, an extremely high pitched noise is emitted from the speakers. This high pitch seems like its comes out full volume out the speakers. Ear piercing noise leaves my ears ringing every time.

A year ago my 2019 Toyota Avalon started displaying a message that the RCD (rear camera detection) was unavailable. I tried working with the dealership that sold me the car, but they ignored me. I went to another Toyota dealership and they said it would cost approximately $2000, but could not guarantee it would fix the issue. I’ve seen online that 1000’s of Toyota owners with the same system have had similar problems, and Toyota frequently responds with, “It’s a rolling computer, and very advanced.” Some were fixed by recalibration, but many have a more serious problem. All the stories are only the people that have posted about it. It’s probably Toyota’s biggest problem. My car was under warranty when it began, but health issues and restrictions kept me from getting the attention of the ge

The car emitted a very loud, high pitched sound, lasting several seconds when starting the vehicle, which was very painful. At the same time, red and green lights are seen flashing a few times next to the SOS button. This has happened twice in the past month.

After troubleshooting, the issue with my car cannot communicate with my mobile app through Toyota remote connect, cannot update vehicle software, and after a $130 diagnostic fee, the dealer states the DCM module is bad and needs replacing. My question is this is a safety issue, correct?

When starting the vehicle, an extremely high pitched noise is emitted from the speakers. The safety of my young child is at risk every time I start the car because this could cause irreparable hearing loss. This is a known issue across many Toyota models as I've found through online forums. Toyota wants $1,200 to fix the DCM Module when it is a manufacturing issue and not caused by the consumer.

*** suspension & oe tire bridgeston el440 - rolling while cornering on uneven/bumpy road - not sure but I feel tire standing wave sometimes - I replaced it with michelin premier a/s and got better grip and 50%-less-rolling effect. *** blind spot monitor(bsm) is unreliable - not properly works sometimes - it cannot detect a car passing by at high speed. - it cannot detect a car at a tiny bit over permissible angle, especially merging road. (I feel that bsm angle is too narrow or short and it works only when the object is exact parallel to my car.) - I would like this bsm to be always on at any time and condition.

When driving our new 2019 Toyota avalon down the freeway it wanders and moves around . The car seems to chase the small lines that are ground into concrete freeway. I took .the car back to the Toyota dealership and the checked the 4 wheel alignment, which was within perfect specs. The car still continues to drift and wander to the point that it seems unsafe. I contacted Toyota corporate warranty. They opened a case # 1909232297. They told me a Toyota field engineer would come out and drive the car to assess the problem. I received a call today from Toyota corporate informing me that they where not send anyone out. We should simply deal with the problem on our own

Tl* the contact owns a 2019 Toyota avalon. While driving in low light conditions or at dusk, the headlamps failed to provide sufficient illumination. The contact stated that the vehicle was unsafe to operate. The vehicle was taken to joseph airport Toyota (1180 w national rd, vandalia, oh 45377, (937) 898-8060) to be inspected. The headlamps were adjusted, but the failure continued. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 4,500.

These issues occur consistently while driving on a local side streets at low speeds, between 0-35 MPH. (1) when executing a stop and go either at a stop light or a stop sign, my 2019 avalon xle emits a "jerking" motion before it decides to kick into gear. The "jerking" can easily be felt inside the vehicle. There are multiple drivers experiencing this "jerking". I thought the "jerking" was occurring while the vehicle was warning up, but "jerking" occurs at all times. (2) when travelling at 30-35 MPH, and after releasing pressure off the accelerator, the vehicle feels like if the brakes are slowly being applied instead of coasting down the street. I believe the transmission is downshifting in such a way that it feels like the brakes are being applied. The above issues have been occur

Tl* the contact owns a 2019 Toyota avalon. The contact stated that the front and rear windshields were cloudy. The contact attempted to clean the windshields however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to hoselton Chevrolet (909 fairport rd, east rochester, ny 14445) where it was inspected however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of failure. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.

After starting to accelerate from a stop light ,the Dashboard had a warning message that the accelerator and brake pedals were pressed simultaneously. The acceleration stopped and the car slowed automatically. After a few seconds the warning indicator went away and the car could accelerate. The cars behind my auto had to stop suddenly. At the time. I though that I might have hit both petals at the same time. When it happened again I opened an incident report with Toyota. Incident opened on 07-19-25 Case # 250719000440. The Toyota rep told me it should be take to a Toyota dealer to diagmose any error codes.The next time the same problem occured I took it to my Toyota dealer and was told there were no error codes to indicate a problem. I have also taken the car to a local repair shop after t
