#14563 of 14780 Re: Should I Buy a 2005 Toyota Avalon XL? [tjc78] by mh70 Sep 05, 2008 (10:31 am)
Replying to: tjc78 (Sep 02, 2008 3:30 am) Thank you for your response. The dealer I am going through is not a Toyota dealer. I spoke with the service department at a local Toyota dealer and described the steering problem, and the mechanic said it was the steering shaft, not the steering column, and it would cost about $420 (including parts and labor) to have it fixed. Does this diagnosis sound correct? Replies to this message: algee (Sep 09, 2008 3:40 am) mh70 (Sep 09, 2008 9:45 am) algee (Sep 11, 2008 4:26 am) retired7 (Oct 10, 2008 9:10 am)
#14564 of 14780 TSB For Steering Column Clicking Noise by retired7 Sep 08, 2008 (8:51 am)
Replying to: tjc78 (Sep 02, 2008 3:30 am) My Feb 05 LTD has ~35K miles and I'm just starting to get the previously reported clicking noise when turning the steering wheel. I have the 100K Platinum warrenty and steering column is still listed under coverage. About ready to take it to Toyota dealer; anyone know what the TSB number is for replacing steering column? (tried word search but no luck!)   Thanks Replies to this message: mh70 (Sep 09, 2008 11:31 am) jerseybear (Mar 15, 2009 3:27 pm)

Replying to: mh70 (Sep 05, 2008 10:31 am) I had the same problem at 32k and the Toyota dealer fixed it with a steering shaft replacement and all is well now. It took about 1 hr and no cost as was under warranty. Replies to this message: mh70 (Sep 09, 2008 9:45 am) algee (Sep 11, 2008 4:26 am) retired7 (Oct 10, 2008 9:10 am)

Replying to: algee (Sep 09, 2008 3:40 am) Thanks. What mileage are you at now? For me, I'm beyond any warranty and my main concern is that this problem is going to return after another 30 thousand miles. Replies to this message: algee (Sep 11, 2008 4:26 am)

Replying to: retired7 (Sep 08, 2008 8:51 am) The TSB for the ticking noise is ST002-06, which was issued March 14, 2006. There was also a TSB for the Touring edition concerning a pull in steering. That is ST-003-06, which was issued March 30, 2006. Replies to this message: jerseybear (Mar 15, 2009 3:27 pm)

#14569 of 14780 2006 Avalon OE Tires P215/55R17 93V by johnl13 Sep 19, 2008 (4:37 pm)
My 2006 Avalon came with Michelin tires MXV4 S8 that have a 440 treadwear grade ,Traction Grade A and Temperture Grade A. The tires revolution per mile was measured at 789 at 45 mph. Its now 35,000 miles later and I'm looking for replacement tires with a 60,000 mile warrenty.   Michelin has a new tire called Primacy MXV4 in my tire size P215/55R17 but the Service description is 94H instead of 93V. That means the max speed and weight specs. are different. This tire comes with a 620 Treadwear Grade,Traction Grade A and Temperature Grade of A. The tire revolution per mile is measured at 791 at 45 mph. The overall performance ratings are much higher in wet,dry,winter and comfort than the Original Equipment.   Has anyone purchased these tires for their 2006 Avalon ? What do you think about the ride comfort, noise comfort, overall car handling and gas mileage when using this new tire? Replies to this message: sbman (Sep 19, 2008 5:11 pm)

Replying to: johnl13 (Sep 19, 2008 4:37 pm) I too have a 2006 and notice high wear on the same tires. Look at your new tire at tirerack.com and read the reviews. Looks like lots of them available. Tire is rated good but for deep snow.
#14571 of 14780 Questions by jlsexton Sep 24, 2008 (1:25 pm)
Has anyone had luck changing the locking procedure on the doors. I tried to change it to the 12 miles per hour from the place in drive one lockup with no luck.   Also, I usually drain one gallon of antifreeze every 2 years and refresh it with new but where the heck does one fill the radiator, is it under the plastic canopy or somewhere else. What I see is a horizontal not vertical protuberance as in, I presume, a filler neck..
#14572 of 14780 05 Avalon clunking noise by truckbme Oct 02, 2008 (6:55 am)
I have read with concern the stories of the clunking sound from the avalon as I have an 05 purchased new. It was taken to the dealer after about 6 months for the "problem" with no results & as usual...no clunking at the dealer even tho they drove it morning , noon & evening. now fast forward to 2008 & I finally took it back to the dealer last month, worried after reading the stories of this problem.Well...the dealer said it was from the ABS engaging & they had numerous complaints.The car was checked out & all is good so far....clunking still there..but I feel better as I have it in writing that if anything developes bad from that it will be taken care of by the dealer. Overall...very satisfied with my avalon, great gas milage ( better on gas in city than most small cars ) & so far after 3 yrs & 40kplus miles 30 plus on highway. 1 oil leak was fixed in 05. Hope this in helps someone.
