• Recall 2010253 [Canada]: Steering
  On certain vehicles, a minute crack may develop on the surface of the steering lock bar, which is a component of the steering interlock system. Such a crack may expand over a period of repeated lock and unlock operations, and eventually the lock bar could break. If this occurs, the interlock system may become difficult to unlock when stationary. If the vehicle is steered to the right while in motion with sufficient lateral acceleration, a broken and loose lock bar may move toward the steering shaft. If the engagement hole in the shaft happens to line up at the specific time the broken lock bar has moved, this could cause the steering wheel lock bar to engage, resulting in a sudden loss of steering control. Correction: dealers will replace the steering interlock device.

The 2003-2004 model avalon's have a recall for the airbags when exposed to certain frequencies and noises. My 2002 avalon has the same issue and toyota needs to include this model year as well. I've had no problems out of this car ever, but as soon as it hit 140,000 miles the air bags light came on. After doing a little research i seen that others were having the same issue. Please include this model year in the recall because this car is very dependable and i've had no issues until now.

I was in a car accident where i lost control of the vehicle due to slippery roads. I was exiting i5 on to highway 7 in tacoma washington. The vehicle wouldn't stop, slid and hit a cement wall on highway 7. Upon impact i hit my head on windshield and none of the air bags came out upon impact. I received injuries due to this disorder.

While at the store i found i can turn the car off and remove the key and get ou while the car is still in gear. If you are not paying attention the vehicle can roll away, causing personal and property damage and possible loss of life.

I was driving on a highway when the car accelerated by itself, brakes did not work. The car put itself in the middle of two lanes, then accelerated turn half ,i think, crashed (the front of the car)with a small hill some how did not stop and ended up somehow turning back and crashed again this time the back of the car crashed against the hill and stopped. The car suffered several breaks in and a transmision repair. This is my third toyota. It was perfect before the incident. It was very scary. Just a few min before the crash i was passing a toll at about 28 mph. After passing the tool i was faster than that but i do not like to speed.

Moving my car from a to b put it in reverse it just took off by it self. It was going so fast i could not stop it even pressing the breaks it still went fast on it on. I started screaming why this car going so fast and why i can't stop it. It stopped when it hit the carport and to sienna van under the carport.Which my vans are damage very bad. I call toyota corporation and told them what happen. They asked me what i wanted from toyota i said my car carport, and both vans fix. They gave me a claim number.So they are having an inspector to inspect it i will have to pay to have it towed. They work for toyota and may say the car is fine but i know what happen to me. It is scary, i could have been killed. In my own backyard.

When turning steering wheel hard to turn like it get stuck can turn the steering wheel.I was driving a city street when i notice a few days ago. Just seeing the recall notice.How long does the consumer have to get assistance with recall.
