The vehicle was towed to my toyota dealer where they explained that some avalons have had this happen. Toyota acknowledges this but has not issued a recall. My car was under warranty and was fixed for free as it was covered. However, my driveway is loaded with all of the oil from my engine. If this happened on the road i would have lost the engine. |
