Your dealer is very aware of this particular problem on all V6 Toyota engines prior to 2008.
We had/have owned 97 Camry, 01 and 07 Highlander, 04 Sienna, 05 and 06 Avalon. I really have NO "1st year" car problem at all. I guess it's hit or miss and some time luck plays a role as well.
I do agree 1st year model might have higher % of failure.
Too bad, some newer Honda and Toyota are starting to go with mass production with lower quality. Isn't it how old the big 3 failed?
The vehicle had less than 1,000 miles on it when it blew. The windshield washer reservoir also has a recall as the connector hose fails. My car was 2 months old when it failed.......

At least this is what he told me.
They admitted that the replacement sensors wouldn't fit the existing manifold, hence the need to replace the manifold as well as the sensors.
I asked for an exception to the 3 year /36000 mile warranty because this was obviously a Toyota error. After they discussed it internally, I was told that Toyota would reimburse me for the repair, which they did.
CALL TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE !!!
Local recommendation is Firestone Precision Touring 215/60/R16 but want to get some feedback from others about this tire and some others that may be comparable.
thanks in advance,

I prefer Michelin MXV4's or for a less expensive tire, Dunlop's.
but then this is a small thing compared to the many other issues and just another disappointment for me with this cheap quality c**p car..
You just have to remember that any late model Avalon has low clearance and drive accordingly. I have experienced minor bottoming problems on steep driveways, etc., and just try to be extra careful (slower) in those situations.
The real point is that 3 PSI will not affect ride height enough to make up for the fact that Avalons do not have a lot of ground clearance, and a person must drive accordingly.
I bought it used from car dealer, car is excellent
the tires on it were choppy,but had lots of tread,uncomfortable ride,
loud noises rolling down the road.
I decided to put new tires on it researched
I ended up buying 4 Goodyear comfort tred assurance 215/55/17
I bought them from Goodyear 600.00 plus alignment,m&b,road hazard
the tires are suppose to be quiet and a comfortable ride'
also they are competitive if you want a goodyear tire they price match
if you find there tire cheaper somewhere else, which is great
if you look on tire rack.com and consumer revews,goodyear tires.com
that will help you make the right choice I am sure.
I have about 200 miles so far, had to end up taking it to the Champion Toyota Dealership Gulf Freeway. I love this dealership new location.
Goodyear on kirby drive in Pearland Tx, could not balance and align the car correctly.
I am going to get my money back for alignment and balance
the one thing I liked about goodyear is you have up till 30 days
to pick another tire they sale,if you are not happy
after going to dealer and getting alignment and wheels balanced properly
I am very happy, I think as I put more miles on these tires I will be happy
I will let you know. otherwise I would probably go with Michellins tires next time .
new tires, alignment, balance
anybody have any suggestions or answers
struts are all good
I have the 2006 XL. I looked in manual for info on changing headlamp bulb, it said to contact dealer. I have read where people have paid a lot for this. In my case the replacement was a sylvania 9006 bulb. Bought for $11. Electric connector pops off with pressure release very simple. Bulb came out with a 1/4 turn counter clock wise. It is tight small hands help, especially on drivers side. Put lub, such as WD-40 around plastic edge that turns back in.
Took just a few minutes. This was low beam bulb.
Hope this helps others.
I do not know what to do next
goodyear has replaced tires twice still have problem
had michelins on previously still have problem
2 alignments 3 times balanced tires still have problem feels like its coming from the right front but not sure.
vibration wobble feel in cabin front seat area
feels like tires no problem felt in steering wheel or brakes
just feels like a tire is out of balance
please help anyone with suggestions
Perhaps a front disc is hanging up, or as stated, a wheel is bent, swapping them front to rear might eliminate that. Always a 4 wheel alignment, preferably balancing the wheels first, no help, do the on car balance.
Anyone seen the 2013 Avalon yet ????????????
still have vibration like tires are still out of balance on front end
vibration seems like its getting worse
ase mechanic told me motor mount bad
am replacing it tuesday will see if this helps
will keep you informed
will also make sure they torque lug nuts 76
I read that could be another problem on avalons
smooth and quiet better rating 10 10
consumer reviews on tires
check out tire rack reviews
20% more comfort then most tires
I have them on my 2006 avalon xls
just came out last year I believe 2011
they are going to replace them and see if this takes care of my problem
tires feeling out of balance 44 miles an hour

Thanks,
Obafunque
