2018 Toyota Avalon Complaints

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA AVALON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE WAITING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, A VEHICLE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS CRASHED INTO THE VEHICLES FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. NONE OF THE FRONTAL AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE POLICE WAS PRESENT AND A REPORT WAS ISSUED. THE PASSENGER WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE, TREATED AND RELEASED THE FOLLOWING DAY. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER JIM NORTON TOYOTA OF OKC, 8401 NORTHWEST EXPRESSWAY, OKLAHOMA CITY, OK 73162, THEY COULD NOT DETERMINED WHY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A THIRD PARTY COMPANY SENT BY THE MANUFACTURER CAME TO EVALUATE THE VEHICLE AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE WHY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE CLAIM WAS DECLINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,300.

2018 TOYOTA AVALON. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO AIR BAGS THAT DID NOT DEPLOY DURING AUTO ACCIDENT. *LD *JS

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.

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 BELIEVE THAT MUCH USE OF CLOSING THE TRUNK HAS CAUSED THE CAMERA LENS TO SHIFT DOWNWARD. NOT A VERY GOOD SAFETY DEVICE AS PER PL 110-189 2/28/2008 CONTACTED THE BILL'S SPONSOR, (XXXX), BUT SHE WAS NOT IN...
