Toyota Avalon

"Everything failed connected to the entertainment/nav system system"

"Performing ANY of these functions requires you to take your eyes off the road. SHOULD NOT BE PERFORMED UNLESS PARKED IN A SAFE AREA!"

"Trans hesitates in normal mode on take off. It then kicks in after a short delay. No excuse for this in a 40K+ car. Navy System is about useless, as was 2017 system. It picks obtuse, inconvenient routes to local and other destinations. It consistently over estimates travel time, correcting it when it doesn't matter. Smart phone does much better, quicker job."

"The system would not pair with my smart phone so I have never been able to use the navigation system. There is NO CD player in the car. The in-dash screen functions are a waste of money & space in the vehicle. The car has NOT lived up to your recommendations. I have been very disappointed with the electronics & gas mileage, not to mention the car was not designed to be comfortable for a woman. I will not lease or buy another Toyota notwithstanding it is a beautiful automobile."

"This tells us the worst directions taking us way out of our way. The first time we used it, it took us 40 miles farther than it should. It continues to function that way so we can’t use it at all. I use my free MapQuest app on my phone that gives good directions."

"The GPS software is outdated by at least 2-3 years. I reported it to my Toyota dealer but got no response. I then took it in for service and they said it's the latest version they have. I'm very disappointed; my Garmin updates every year for nothing; this Toyota software is severely outdated and they will eventually be charging hundreds of dollars to update the software."

"Inadequate training instructions"

"The GPS in the Avalon is very poorly made. you have to have your cell phone plugged into it to have moving directions. This makes it a night mare to lean to use."

"phone-car system too complex"

"dealer was unable to connect others were able"

"HD radio is useless in rural areas. Needs to be disabled to avoid strange performance of audio. The same for surround sound; does not belong in a moving vehicle! Needs to be disabled at every restart of engine! USELESS!"

"Radio won't work properly. Won't come on when car starts. May or may not come on in about 20 minutes, but only comes on for a few seconds then goes off again. Dealership tried to install update and update would not take. Dealership waiting to hear from Toyota on what to do next. Have been waiting for 2 weeks so far with no response."

"Took the car 3 times to the dealer since, the radio displayed to keep updating the software. After troubleshooting, Toyota headquarters, had a fix"

"Patches to the Entune 3.0 system would download, install, but wouldn't stick. So at least once a day I would be asked by the system to download and install the same update."

"There have been numerous problems with the warning systems that required software updates. Lots of warnings that required us to contact the dealer and also said the warning systems were not functioning. The acceleration on the car is sluggish and often feels unsafe. Toyota says it is because of the new transmission in this model. It sputters and feels like you would not be able to get out the way of another car if you had to accelerate quickly. I don't feel like I can depend on this car to get me out of a tight spot if I needed quick acceleration."

"I received a letter from Toyota stating there was a Safety Recall on my new 2019 Toyota Avalon / stating SRS Warning Light / Master Warning Light / Multi-Information Display Message may not illuminate or remains illuminated / I brought my Avalon into the dealer and they fixed it in 1 hour."

"Passenger side front speaker failed and sounded horrible. Dealer replaced under warranty"

"There are too many controls on the steering wheel and the buttons are the same color as the steering wheel. Therefore, all buttons are too small. Main problem is with Cruise Control. If you don't set the speed immediately after turning the system on, the system turns itself off. Then when you push the SET button and take your foot off the accelerator, the car slows down and you have to start the process all over again. Maddening for the driver and those cars behind him."

"I had the problem twice. The vehicle was not hearing voice commands. In both cases the system was reset. The second failure occurred about one month after the first. It has since been about four months with no recurrence."

"Voice recognition is terrible, even after several rounds of training. For example, I say, Directions to Portland International Airport. and it responds with, I found three KFCs near you."

"I tell it to change Sirius radio station and it sometimes says it can’t do that while I’m in the car. What?! I then have to take my eyes off the road to navigate the several screens it takes to change it myself. I think touch screens in a car are as bad as texting!"

"The console lid was noisy upon opening and closing. The drivers seat was also squeaky during certain movements during driving."

"it sound like tail pop"

"There is a strange sound that we hear near the driver's door when we are going around 50-60 MPH. It is annoying plus it sounds like there could be something loose. The dealer keeps saying they don't hear it so it has not been fixed. They have looked at it three times."

"Wind and road noise enough to turn radio up"

"Significant road/wind noise at about 40 miles per hour, increasing to and flatteningmout at 60 milesmper hour"

"very noisy howling noise from driver side door."

"On reaching speed of 35mph wind noise heard coming from around windshield. After taking to a dealer that could manage problem solving, the problem was fixed. The dealer I originally purchased the vehicle from was not able to fix the problem."

"All door window seal leak.Sound like driving with open windows."

"almost un bareable.in the rain car sounds like it was never under oated.38,000 dollars no CD player,no remote garage door button ,no memory for seats or mirror,had all of this in the 2014 XLE I TRADED.vERY DISAPPOINTED."

"SAFETY RECALL: Equipped w/ a low-pressure fuel pump which may stop operating."

"Toyota sent me a recall on the fuel pump / Toyota Expressway fixed th recall for zero $0 dollars."

"Toyota issued a recall on the fuel pump issue. Waiting for resolution"

"Low pressure fuel pump was recalled in January, 2020. Toyota has not resolved the problem to date (May 28). Car has not stopped working, but we fear driving long distances. Dealer did offer a loaner, but we refused since we have the second car. We have been told that the fix will be offered some time in June."

"A service indicator light came on. It required three visits to get it repaired."
