SERVICE ENGINE AND MANY OTHER TROUBLE INDICATORS AT THE SAME TIME. TROUBLE FOUND FOR $80.00 LOOSE GAS CAP. DAY'S LATTER FOUND GAS CAP STRAP MISSING. RETURN TO DEALER WHO SAID THE STRAP IS WHAT CAUSE THE POOR SEAL SO THE TECH REMOVED IT (AS THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME). ASK TO PURCHASE A REPLACEMENT STRAP - NOT AVAILABLE. PURCHASED NEW GAS CAP WHICH COMES WITH STRAP (A 2 CENT ITEM) COST $25.00.TOTAL COST FOR A KNOWN PROBLEM $100. TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THE LITTLE PROBLEM FOR MOST OR ALL OF ITS VEHICLE AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT IT. IT IS A MONEY MAKER FOR THE DEALERS WHO NEVER SUGGEST LOOKING AT YOU GAS CAP. THEY CONNECT IT TO ANALYZER FOR $80.00. REMOVE THE STRAP AND SEND YOU ON YOUR WAY. SHAME SHAME SHAME. *TR

WE OWN A 2007 TOYOTA AVALON LIMITED. WE HAVE RECEIVED RECALL NOTICES ON THE FLOOR MATS,ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND AN OIL SUPPLY HOSE. ALL ARE TO BE CORRECTED NEXT WEEK. THIS COMPLAINT IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF LETTING YOU KNOW THAT NEITHER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL NOR THE FLOOR MAP IS THE CAUSE OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION. I SAY THIS BECAUSE MY WIFE DRIVES WITH HAND CONTROLS WITH A STEEL PLATE GUARDING AND PROTECTING THE ACCELERATOR FROM BEING USED BY HER. THEREFORE IT IS NOT THESE ITEMS CAUSING THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. WE HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN ON 3 OR 4 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS SO IT WAS NOT ISOLATED NOR WERE THESE RECALL ITEMS AT FAULT. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT US FOR FURTHER INFO IF NEEDED. THANKS. *TR
