AS SOON AS I START THE CAR, 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT KEEPS COMING IN SPITE OF SEVERAL YEARS OF REPAIRS AND SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS SPENT AT TWO TOYOTA DEALERS, AND AT SEVERAL OTHER GARAGES. FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS IN 2005. RIGHT NOW THE LIGHT IS ON. THE TOYOTA 2000 AVALON XL I HAVE HAS SERIOUS MANUFACTURING DEFECTS. IN 2004 DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WOULD NOT ROLL AND COST ME ALMOST $600.00 THE WATER PUMP, GASKET, DRIVE BELTS, ENGINE COVER AND LOGO, ETC HAVE BEEN CHANGED.
'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT KEEPS COMING WHEN DRIVING. SINCE 2005, TWO TOYOTA DEALERS AND TWO INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOPS WERE UNABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM FOR GOOD. LATEST REPAIR WAS IN SEPTEMBER 2015 AT TOYOTA. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON.
TOYOTA AVALON 2000 "CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT COMES ON. I TAKE IT TO TOYOTA DEALER FOR REPAIR 9/1/12 . THIS LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN ON 10/9/12. TOYOTA DEALER AGAIN REPAIRS. LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN 12/14/12. TOYOTA DEALER REPAIRS AGAIN. LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN 01/18/13. TOYOTA DEALER REPAIRS AGAIN. 'CHECK ENGINE LIGHT' COMES ON AGAIN 1/25/13. TOYOTA DEALER WANTS TO REPAIR. I REFUSE. I INFORM TOYOTA DEALER AND TOYOTA CORP. AND REQUEST A REFUND OF ALL MONEY ($824.47) CHARGED. NO REFUND AS OF 2/8/13. ON 8/18/12, THE DRIVER FRONT WINDOW WON'T ROLL. TOYOTA DEALER REPAIRS IT AT A COST OF $274.24. *TR
DRIVING BETWEEN 10-15 MPH IN AN OPEN PARKING LOT, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED (RPMS BETWEEN 7-8). APPLIED BRAKES TO NO AVAIL. WHEN TRYING TO SHIFT TO PARK, THE CAR ACCELERATED IN REVERSE. DID MANAGE TO GET CAR IN PARK AND SHUT OFF ENGINE. MOST HORRIFYING EXPERIENCE. VERY FORTUNATE AND BLESSED NO OTHER PERSONS, VEHICLE OR BUILDING WAS IN OUR PATH. WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND IT IDLED NORMAL AND EXHIBITED NO OTHER ACCELERATIONS WHEN DRIVING. BROUGHT CAR TO TOYOTA DEALER. DIAGNOSTICS PERFORMED AND FOUND NO PROBLEM. DEALER CONTACTED TOYOTA CORP. AND NOTIFIED US NOTHING WOULD BE DONE UNLESS WE CONTACTED CORPORATE PERSONALLY TO REPORT THE INCIDENT. AS OF THIS DATE, WE NOW HAVE A CASE NUMBER ASSIGNED FROM CORPORATE AND THE CAR IS BACK AT THE DEALER FOR FURTHER ASSESSMENT. *TR
