Replying to: cjutson (Nov 28, 2009 6:29 pm) A 2011 Avalon--fully redesigned-- is currently being tooled up for an expected debut in Feb or March 2010. The only thing I could get from my dealer is that it is more "Lexus like" and will have a better nav system. |

I am wondering if the only recall regarding the 2010 Avalon is the issue involving the accelerator and floor mat. Here is the link to the description of the recall: http://www.newcar.com/15/04/2010/toyota/avalon/recalls/38997.html Does anyone else know of any official recalls for the 2010 model year? I am a bit confused regarding the recall with the floor mat and the accelerator. My neighbor, an older woman, also purchased a new 2010 Avalon. She claims that she's received several recalls for this new car within a month. One being a hose associated with the motor oil, and another that she described as the car (possibly)accelerating rapidly on its own (not as a result of the floor mat getting stuck with the gas pedal). This is another entirely different issue. Can someone please clarify? I've only had my car for nearly 3 weeks and have not yet received an official recall notices from Toyota. |

There may have been other recalls before my vehicle though, so far I've had no issues *knock wood* Cheers Sheldon

Replying to: necro1234 (Nov 29, 2009 10:35 am) I have never received anything in writing from Toyota about the very real VVTi oil line issue (supposedly fixed at the factory in mid 2008), or the mysterious, really unverified, vehicle acceleration seemingly caused by electronic glitches. I would not expect late model (2009-2010) owners to ever see anything from Toyota on either of these issues.

Replying to: popsavalon (Nov 29, 2009 6:33 pm) Thank you both for your replies to my post on the recall--I appreciate your help! This is why I enjoy participating in these discussions, as current owners (people that have owned the same car for a few years) know most about these cars! |

I am a current Camry owner with 160,000 miles on my car and expecting 100,000 more. I am about to purchase a 2010 Avalon and need some help making decisions. Should I get the extended warranty? Can someone tell me about their repair history? I turned down the Toyoguard Plus Protection Group Package, does anyone think this is necessary? Should I get the Exterior Paint Sealant, Undercoating and Interior Protection Application put on after I have the car. I am new to this forum and have enjoyed the knowledge I have received so far. Thanks for all the good advice; I look forward to learning more. VAT |

Replying to: norbat (Dec 02, 2009 1:38 pm) Interior protection package … I've got leather and don't think this would be of much help for what they'll likely charge for it. Undercoating, I haven't seen this sold in New England in a few years? Extended warranty, I'd waiting until mine was up or close to it, to decide. So far anything I've needed was under warranty so I'm not sure about paying extra for something that is currently free. Not much help, but it is what it is. Skip |

Replying to: norbat (Dec 02, 2009 1:38 pm) I personally think all of the extra packages, warranties, etc. offered by dealers are a complete waste of money! Save the money and do not get sucked into these offerings! Please keep us posted on how you like your new vehicle! Good luck! |

Replying to: norbat (Dec 02, 2009 1:38 pm) Toyoguard basic has been on all my 3 Avalons. The wax is great and the finish on the cars has always been first class. I like it, glad I paid for it, but others may feel differently. Extra paint sealant, undercoating and leather protector are not necessary on an Avalon. Good luck, hope this helps.... |
