Description of the problem	On may 28, 2016, me and my 4 year old toddler were traveling on the interstate in our 2005 toyota avalon (approx. 142,000 miles) when it suddenly loss power. The dashboard lit up and heavy smoke began pouring from under the hood on the right side of the car. Luckily i was able to coast to right side of the road and stop the vehicle without getting slam from behind on the interstate. The vehicle had just been serviced on 05/18/2016; with no issue prior to traveling out of town for the holiday. After a dealer full diagnostic was completed; it was determined that the head gasket blew and that along with the engine had to be replaced. This was the second opinion. The previous dealer full diagnostic was performed on the car in 11/2015, when engine light came on and an "system too lean code" appeared. At that time, the following items were removed and replaced. Intake manifold gasket, throttle body gasket, plemum gaskets and spark plugs. Other than that, the car has have routine service and maintenance performed on a regular basis. How does a car with an excellent service record develop an issue of this nature without any advance warning? There was no check engine light, the car wasn't running hot. There were no strange noises, thump, rattles, etc. I purchased the vehicle based on its ratings and reliability factor. --as i started to do a little research, i am seeing that this is an issue with this vehicle along with the toyota camry. Why isn't this reported as a know issue with this product. I just get sick knowing there was no light sensors or anything to warn of an issue. We were very fortunate not to get struck from behind travel at such a high rate of speed on the interstate.
