1996 Toyota Avalon LX review from North America
"Why didn't they advertise the recall?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had no problem until 2003. The motor failed and the company replaced everything because they were quietly recalled. Now the cam shaft failed. The dealer is charging me $485 for diagnosing the problem and $1950 for fixing it-- I think this may be associated with the problem I had two years ago--I am going to get it fixed because its worth nothing as it is, but I feel its not right.
General comments?
After this problem, I don't think I'll buy another Toyota.
