Toyota Avalon Reliability through December 31, 2012
General NotesModels and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase to 20 or so in future updates.
New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

| Jul | 2007 | 1 | Windshield washer resevoir leaking. Found hose had fallen off. Put back on with a hose-clamp and it has worked fine for the past 3 years. | |
| Nov | 2010 | 240 | Exhaust manifold has design flaw but no recall. Air/fuel sensor Bank 1, sensor 1 fails prematurely. Replace mainfold/sensor for $1800 or sensor for $240 every 20,000'ish miles. I chose the latter. Good now for another few years (I hope) | |
| Apr | 2012 | 34300 | 0 | This is the second time the air-fuel sensor has died. An OEM replacement was used last time and lasted only 1 year. There is a design-flaw in the exhaust manifold. Must be replaced to avoid repeated repairs, but that would cost $1800 :-( |
| Jul | 2012 | 35000 | 15 | Gas smell in garage on very hot days. Replaced gas cap and seems to have gone away. Finally got around to replacing A/F sensor (for second time - see earlier entries). Replaced it myself with help of a friend (with OEM part like before). We'll see how long it lasts on this second sensor. (First one lasted only 14 months) |
