Avalon

  • miles
Dealer and manufacturer have attempted numerous times to correct problems with the electrical system, but have not succeeded. Headlight failure is the most serious incident todate. Fortunately, there was no other vehicles traveling at the same time along the highway, and we were able to stop the vehicle promptly and without incident.
