2005 Toyota AVALON Structure Body Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1348061

Description of the problem	The hood latch will not latch or, often, latches but incompletely so that with aerodynamic loads it unlatches. The hood position is then dependent on the secondary latch which is marginal. I have every reason to expect this is a common problem with aging toyota avalons and will, or has, result in a loss of control accident. The problem does not respond to normal maintenance and lubrication.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
