Description of the problem	My 2006 avalon experienced a severe oil leak while my wife was driving it. Fortunately, she was close to home and stopped it in front of the house where it deposited several quarts of oil. I had the car towed to the dealer who quickly recognized the problem as a well-known failure of the hose-to-tubing connection on an external lube oil line to the vvt mechanism. I had 51k miles, so the repair was covered by warranty. I have since purchased a new solid metal tube as is used on the 2009 models to replace the one the dealer installed which still had the rubber hose portion. I have purchased toyotas since the mid '80's and this is my first serious disappointment in both the quality of the product and the conduct of the company for not recalling this vehicle for this problem.
