| Description of the problem | My paid cash for this toyota avalon $5000 worth $2200 the car has 6 recalls none of which were ever investigated by toyota or anyone else. I first got the car started driving and the belt started smoking before 3 yrs the battery was changed out by advanced auto free / we paid for a new belt then the tire went out 2 x found out theirs a wheel alignment issue with the arms that need replacing toy dealer and american best recommended new arms amer best priced $800 toy dealer priced $3-5k among brakes wipers suspension etc ! Toy should be liable to fix the car parts as i went there for help instead they send an est for thousands to fix when there are 6 recalls remaining ! I was in an accident 10/30 someone hit me while driving from behind . The car i believe was in an accident prior to ownership. Everything i mentioned is hazardous and unsafe for manufacturers to continue to build unsafe cars on the road! |
