What Owners Say
""The Avalon periodically would not go into Park. This occurred for many months, and the mechanic could not fix it. It was very random and occurred multiple times per week. I would have to put the car in neutral and use the emergency brake if parking it on a slanted surface. Also would have to put it in neutral to start it again. To allow this to happen, I believe the mechanic had to bypass some safety measure that allowed me to shift to neutral when the car was turned off and also remove the key from the ignition. After probably five months, another mechanic was able to figure out the problem and fixed it.""
