There is one item on the Avalon that has proved troublesome. A good friend has a 2007. I believe that there is only one engine (V-6) available in this model. He was driving on the highway and a pressurized oil line burst. He stopped immediately so there was no engine damage, but he was stuck on the road, and had to be towed. Toyota took care of the repair without charge and paid for the towing also. If you buy one it might be wise to see if this repair has already been done on your vehicle by Toyota. Any dealer or the central customer service department should be able to look in the computer system and answer this question if you supply the VIN. Other than that I believe the Avalon is a superb car.
