Avalon

  • 25,000 miles
The contact owns a 2003 Toyota Avalon. The contact stated that the rear brake lights were permanently illuminated. The vehicle was taken to kendall Toyota (10943 S dixie hwy, miami, fl 33156) where it was diagnosed that the rear brake light sensor was damaged and needed replacement. The battery was also replaced. After the vehicle was repaired, the brake pedal traveled all the way down to the floorboard and the vehicle did not accelerate. For the past year and a half, a strong odor of fuel was present inside the cabin. The vehicle was taken to several independent mechanics, but the cause of the odor could not be determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and a complaint was filed. The approximate failure mileage was 25,000.
