#98 of 151 Re: 2006 Avalon brake roar in rain. [peterpan] by champion3 Mar 07, 2006 (7:44 pm)
Replying to: peterpan (Mar 04, 2006 9:05 pm) No it was not hammering or pulsating it sounded like riding on a road paved with rock.You no how it sounds when you go from smooth paved road to a rock paved road you get more tire noise. This was braking normal not agressively. This is a new car only 2800 miles . All i can guess is the brake pad material must be affected when wet to cause this.When it not raining they make no noise.
#99 of 151 Front Passenger side Axle by kpraveen Mar 23, 2006 (1:50 pm)
Hi Guys,   I bought a used 95Avalon XL recently. Then i discovered there is a greece leakage in front passenger side wheel and when i took it to auto service center they have adviced to change the axle. But it does not make any noise. Can someone let me know can i take chance until i hear noise so that i can fix or is it risk driving with this spoiled axle. How much does it cost in replacing it, local service center had quoted $310.   Thanks in Advance. Replies to this message: abfisch (Mar 24, 2006 8:10 am)

Replying to: kpraveen (Mar 23, 2006 1:50 pm) Since I have had to replace axles on my 02 unfortunately, I know a little. If you have the inclination, take off the wheels, and gently pull apart the outer CV joint boot and check for any rip and cracks. You should have your answer there. The price quoted sounds reaasonable. They may just replace the entire axle instead of the outer CV joint. If the car is in good condition, it is a good car and worth it..   abfisch
#101 of 151 ABS light on Avalon 2001 by keydell Mar 30, 2006 (2:00 pm)
Folks   This is my first post. I recently bought a used 2001 Avalon. Has 120K on it but bought it after i read its reviews and found that it might be good for another 50 - 75K.   I have two issues with the car: 1. The ABS light keeps turning on and off. When it turns ON, and I shut off the engine and turn it back on, the ABS indicator turns OFF. The previous owner changed the tyres and they are supposedly bigger than the OEM indicated size. Would that be causing this problem. 2. THe VSC light (basically it is not working!!) is permanently ON. The seller told me this is becasue of the tyre issue. But after reading a few posts I am beginning to have doubts about this claim.   I am a relative newbie and this is only the second automobile in my life. Can sombody who knows / has tackled this problem help me out. Would greatly appreciate it.   rgds   Replies to this message: abfisch (Mar 31, 2006 9:12 am)

Replying to: keydell (Mar 30, 2006 2:00 pm) Umm.   This is not my area of expertise, but I don't think it is the tire. It is either the receptor or the sending unit, or something else electronic. This is for the ABS. For the VSC, another electronic gizmo, I am not too sure. Maybe someone else who has more electronic troubleshooting expertise can join in here.   It is a good car, though, if you can get past these issues. You should have the ABS tested and fixed. The VSC also a safety feature, IMO, is not as good as replacing the struts, which at the mileage that you have, might be a better way to spend money for repair/maintenance. Replace the struts with a premium aftermarket brand. You will get better stability control in more situations including emergency handling that with worn struts and VSC.   abfisch

Replying to: lisa39 (Apr 12, 2006 11:34 am) Can't tell for sure from what you described but I suggest you check the oil level for power steering. I had the similar problem before and I had to add oil to get rid of that noise.

#106 of 151 buzzing noise from brake pedal and wiper needs repair on 96 Avalon by tlkoer May 22, 2006 (7:17 am)
I have a 96 avalon xls and when I press the brake pedal I get a buzzing noise. I had read on another forum that low fluid in the ABS reservoir can cause this. First I need to know (which I don't know much about abs brakes) is there a separate reservoir for the ABS system and could this also be my problem? I have no problems stopping.   Also my windshield wipers go too far to the right and makes a loud noise when in use. Is there away of adjusting the sweep?   Thanks for the help!   Tammy Replies to this message: flyer5 (Sep 13, 2006 5:10 am)
#107 of 151 vsc off/abs lights on by whilst Jun 19, 2006 (9:15 am)
Hi all. 00'xls has these lights come on bi-weekly. When they come on, it seems like ALL brakes are being applied! Checked brake fluid level,gas cap tight.NO "check engine light". Any responses out there? I just examined all 4 brakes and ABS sensors-cleaned. It seems to me,if system detects problem,brakes should revert to a conventional action1? Thanks,Jeff.
