What Owners Say
"Front bumper fasteners are not durable and often need resetting."
Anonymous, AR (2014 Toyota Avalon XLE 3.5-L V6)"After owning 1992 Park Ave that was recalled because of fake interior chrome trim was a driver distraction, I should have known better than to purchase another vehicle that had it. Additionally, said fake trim peels off and the plastic underneath it is unattractive. Expect better out of Toyota"
Anonymous, AL (2014 Toyota Avalon XLE 3.5-L V6)""Several areas including cupholders and dash trim have deteriorated (torn) and come loose. The armrests have worn through and exposed the padding underneath. Also, the rear sunshade mechanism has failed and the sunshade will not operate.""
Anonymous, VA (2014 Toyota Avalon Limited 3.5-L V6)"After 8 years, the headliner glue bond began failing with the fabric separating from the foam backing. Toyota provided no assistance. Repair required full replacement at a cost of over $650. Very poor customer support."
Anonymous, AR (2014 Toyota Avalon XLE 3.5-L V6)"The two door armrests covers (supposed to be leather) and the center armrest all cracked adn started peeling. The chrome around the drink holders and above the stereo started bubbling and peeling."
Anonymous A., FL (2014 Toyota Avalon Limited 3.5-L V6)"We had to have our car repainted as the pearl white paint (paid extra for it) started peeling. It has taken a year to get it right through corporate Toyota."
