Anonymous, CO (2010 Toyota Avalon Limited 3.5-L V6)"the rear brake light in the window is out. You must take out the back seat completely to get to it. The light itself costs less than $20. The labor to replace the light is over $250.Nearly impossible for a senior citizen like myself to fix at home. This light must be working in order to pass state inspection. Both things are ridiculous. If I did not have the light in the back window my car would pass but since it is included in this model I must get it fixed, Why would you put a light in and cover it with the back seat and require it to be working for a state inspection even if not needed."
Anonymous, TX (2010 Toyota Avalon Limited 3.5-L V6)"Nearly all warning lights (except washer fluid level) suddenly came on last year. I am told this is some kind of computer sensor, which costs around $200, which we chose not to have replaced."
