problem #1

Jan 112008

Avalon 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 18,000 miles
The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Avalon. While attempting to accelerate from a stop, the tire would spin and the brakes would automatically apply. The contact could not feel the vehicle spin, but the warning indicator light illuminated to indicate that the traction control was applied. The dealer stated that the function was normal and the traction control could not be deactivated. The design flaw occurred only in the snow. The vehicle mileage was 18,000 and current mileage is 20,000. Updated 03/13/08.
