Toyota Avalon in Kansas, United States
Month Year Odometer
(in miles)
Cost Problem/Repair Description
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)
