Front windshield defogger and road fumes
 
So the weather outside is rain+snow+sleet and I need to activate the front windshield defogger.
 
No problem, I press the button for front windshield defogger and it activates.
 
But, now the recirculated air drops as the system pulls in outside air. Not a problem on the highway, but in stop and go traffic in a city or urban street, the exhaust fumes begin to permeate the vehicle.
 
And there is no override.
 
So to keep the defogger active without gassing my passengers and me, I need to open a window to obtain some air to circulate and clear the passenger compartment
 
Isn’t this a clever nifty programming effort on the part of a Toyota denizen?

It sure would be nice to have some tie downs in the trunk.
 
Except for the hooks for where the cargo net can be affixed and where a package can be secured, there is no easy way to secure a basket or anything else in area aft of each wheel cover assembly. Yes, there are some torsion bars for the trunk lid but nothing really to keep items from rolling around.
 
I carry a few items and I wanted to keep them, in a plastic wastepaper basket on either side, e.g.: windshield washer fluid, paper towels, gloves, engine oil, leather cleaner, windshield ice spray, etc.
 
I don’t want to put in a milk box, as then I would lose luggage space which is already cramped with the depth of all the items below the rear deck that the pace is barely usable.

Center console lid is pain
 
The center console, between the seats and under the elbow, has a lid, which slides forward. As nice as it is to have this slide forward, access to the compartment is extremely difficult at all times.

Hello Avytouring. I too have an 07 avalon and the seat belt chimes also drove me nuts. We also have an 06 GMC Envoy, and the seat belt chime in that vehicle only rings 3 or 4 times, the one in my Avy rang something like 39 or some ridiculous number. There is a way to over ride the seat belt chime. If you havent already gotten someone else to tell you how, email me at Rpfingaol.com and I will send you the instructions. However I am not saying you shouldn't use your seatbelt. I use mine, just hated that annoying chime. Drop me a line at the email address above and I'll be glad to help. have a great christmas.
