Does the 2008 come with XM and Bluetooth? I think if you get the upgraded JBL sound system on the 2009 it includes both, but not sure about the 2008. I'm also curious about VSC. I believe this is included on the 2009 but an option on the 2008? If so, is there a package that it generally comes with? Just trying to find an easy way to identify cars with these options as I'm shopping for used if I can get one with these options.

Most of the XLS/Limited models that I looked at came with it anyway. The option packages usually include the 8 way power passenger seat with heated front seats, or the memory mirrors/drivers seat which also includes the heated seats, although you may still be able to get the heated seats without the two mentioned upgrades - depends on what is available in your area. Hope this helps.

Or so it seems. When my 2008 Avalon is cold, and I first drive off, there is a clicking / grinding sound that seems to come from the left front corner. Much like if the CV joint was bad? The car has 3,500 miles on it. The noise is MUCH worst when taking off and turning left right from the start. So I start the car up, and turn hard left under acceleration and it makes the noise. The noise or frequency is less after about 10 - 20 minutes. If I park the car long enough for the parts / car to cool down, it happens each time. The car also seems to be shifting or not, much more during this time. I have on occasion been going down a very slight incline and had the car almost stop when I let up off of the gas pedal. It's like the car is in low gear when I do this, even if I'm going 25 - 35 MPH. The car was in last week for this, and at that time they said they has to re-set the VCS sensor? All pretty weird, and folks had this happen to them? Is there something I should tell me dealer? I'm guessing the worst that can happen is it gets worst, and the dealer can then figure out what's wrong? I say this, because they didn't hear anything yesterday when I dropped the car off, for them to check out. I'm thinking I'll need to leave it there over night for them to hear and maybe figure out what's wrong. Skip |
