I have a loud clunk when I let off the accelerator. When I start the engine from cold I hear it like something is loose and vibrating. Toyota Service checked it out today. "The noise is common in Toyotas". Go figure. It just started doing this at 83,000 miles. Any suggestions?

2007 avalon limited - passenger seat gets hot when it shouldn't and the control seems to be erratic. Sometimes setting to cold makes it hot, and sometimes setting it to hot makes it go off. Where is the fuse for the seat heaters, and how can I fix this problem. For the short run, I really would like to find the fuse location. For the fuse panel under the hood, I could not see which one controlled the seat heaters. Any help would be mucho appreciated. Thanks - fish

Bob the guy I trust told me all the problems in my old Camry, all the quirks and he was right as it aged they showed up. I only have 10,000 on my 06 & probably won't reach 25,000 before I sell it so hopefully the quirks won't show up. GOOD LUCK............ |

Hello all.. I have a hypothetical question for you. I have a 2007 XLS.. so far, great car. but earlier tonight my wife and I were talking about whether I would keep it or trade it in for a new one when this one's paid for. well I'm currently 24 payments in to a 60 payment term, basically 3 years left. Given the following info:, an 07XLS in if not perfect condition, damn near it with i'm guessing at that time approx. 60K miles on it. Car has just about everything with the exception of heated and cooled seats and does not have navigation. My question is what kind of trade in value could I reasonably expect. I ask because in the past, I've never traded a car in before it was 10 years old at the earliest and of course by then, trade in value is next to nothing. Thought I could help lower my note on my next car by getting some trade in value from my current. I know it's a hypothetical question but just curious what you guys think. I appreciate your input. Roland

I purchased a new Toyota Avalon (touring) in July 2006. In Sept. 2007, the trunk hinge snapped, the heavy trunk fell and hit my friend in the head. It was repaired by the dealer. In Sept. 2008, my car had 22,000 miles' The brake warning light was flashing occasionally, but the brakes felt fine. The dealer checked the brakes and said that they put in a little brake fluid but there was no leak, The brakes continued to feel fine'. About a week after the dealer looked at the car the warning light flashed one time. A month later, the brakes failed when I slowed down for a red light. I could have been killed. Now the dealer says there is nothing wrong with the car; the brake fluid levels are fine, the pads are good, maybe 50% worn, no fluid leaks and that there is nothing to fix. I notified the manufacturer and they said that there is nothing that they can do for me, that they have to go along with the dealer. The brakes are acting fine now but who is to know when they will suddenly fail again with no defect identified. I am stuck with a lemon. The car is still under warranty. I have to transport my grandchildren around. I feel unsafe.

Got my grubby paws on a 2007 XLS, loverly car, quite mind blowing just how much punch the car has. (one hellava motor under the hood). Cant say for sure if there is a governor or not or what the top end could be, I've got up to just over 125mph before backing off. Car pulls strong up to about 120mph and then slowly continues forward from there, also has good control up to about 120mph, from there I started to get nervous. Would love to get my hands on a Limited now  Cheers Sheldon
