| Description of the problem | I have a 2006 toyota avalon, and recently i realized that the engine was leaking oil quite profusely. I took it right into the dealership and they stating that the vvt (variable valve timing) injection hose was broken. They replaced my hose as i have the platinum care protection plan through toyota. My concern is it seems like this has happened to other who own 2006 avalons. If the part is faulty why don't they recall the cars and replace the faulty parts. |
