| Description of the problem | I bought a new 2011 toyota avalon in april of 2010. Within a couple of weeks the inside of the windows are covered with a film from gas vapors. It is so thick that it reduces your vision particularly in the sun. It is a safety issue. I reported it to the dealer but they just listen and do nothing. A friend of mine also bought a new avalon in may of 2011 and their car has the same problem so over a year later the avalons are doing the same thing. |
