Consumer Description
ENGINE OIL GELLING. MY 2001 AVALON XLS HAS 42,000 MILES AND IS IN THE SHOP FOR EXTENSIVE REPAIRS DUE TO OIL GELLING. I CHANGED THE OIL REGULARLY AND THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN ABSENT A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN. I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL TOYOTA CUSTOMER AND THIS IS MY 4TH TOYOTA CAR. DEPENDABILITY IS THE NO. 1 PRIORITY FOR ME. TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY, BECAUSE I MUST DEPEND ON MY VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS IN THE SHOP I DECIDED TO TRADE IT IN FOR A 2004 LEXUS. IMAGINE MY DISGUST WHEN THE DEALER DISCOUNTED THE VALUE OF THE TRADE-IN BECAUSE OF OIL GELLING. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. *LA
