NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET, BUT I HAVE A NEW CAR, 4800 MILES ON IT, 3/17/20 I REC'D A RECALL NOTICE BECAUSE ITS FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM, TOYOTA SAYS, MAY SUDDENLY STOP WORKING WHILE I AM DRIVING AND I WON'T BE ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR ASSUMING I HAVEN'T BEEN KILLED. I DO NOT WANT A CAR WITH THIS PROBLEM AND TOYOTA SAYS THEY HAVE NO FIX CURRENTLY! I HAVE WRITTEN TO THEIR CHIEF LEGAL COUNSEL FOR A REPLACEMENT OF MY FAULTY AUTO WITH A NEW VEHICLE (NOT THE SAME MODEL WITH THE PROBLEM) OF A MODEL OF COMPARABLE VALUE. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD RISK MY LIFE WHILE TOYOTA LOOKS FOR A FIX FOR A LIFE-THREATENING FLAW. REGISTERED LETTER SENT TO TOYOTA CHIEF LEGAL COUNSEL 3/31/20. I HAVE NO SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE, BUT I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE A CAMRY OR COROLLA LOANER WHEN I AM COVERED BY A WARRANTY FOR THE 2019 AVALON I PAID CASH FOR IN FULL!

WHEN I PUMP 91 GASOLINE AT QUICK TRIP IT WANT TAKE BUT 4 DOLLARS AND CLICK OFF! THEN WHEN I TAKE THE PUMP OUT IT SPITS ALL THE GAS OUT THAT WAS PUT IN! THEN I PROCEED TO CUM N GO IT FILLS CORRECTLY! IT WAS THE 3RD TIME I WAS ON HIGHWAY SEEN A QUICK TRIP AND GAS WOULD NOT TAKE! LAST TRY WAS QUICK TRIP PUMP 7 ABOUT 6:20 MUSKOGEE OKLAHOMA THURSDAY 3/5/2020! JUST WONDERING IF IT WAS CAR OR GAS STATIONS PROBLEM!

MY CAR MOSTLY PARKED IN THE GARAGE. LATELY, IT'S GETTING WORSE AND NOTICING ENGINE RUNNING ROUGH, STALL AT SPEED ABOUT 20 MPH AND HUMMING FROM UNDER REAR OF THE CAR HOURS AFTER IT'S SHUT OFF.

CHANGING INTERSECTION IN THE CITY STREETS ENGINE STALLS LIKE ITS NOT GETTING ENOUGH FUEL.

I WAS IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I WAS DRIVING ALONG A LOCAL ROAD, PROBABLY ABOUT 30MPH. I WAS STRUCK BY ANOTHER CAR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF MY CAR, AND THEN SPUN INTO A MEDIAN AND STRUCK A TREE. MUCH OF THE CAR WAS DESTROYED. THE WINDSHIELD WAS BROKEN AND DISPLACED FROM THE FRAME ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. NO AIR BAGS WENT OFF. I WAS RESTRAINED BY THE SEAT BELT ONLY. THE FAILURE OF THE AIRBAGS IS OF GREAT CONCERN.

EVERY TIME CAR IS FILLED UP, THERE IS A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE AS IT SITS IN MY GARAGE. AFTER DRIVING IT A BIT, THE ODOR GOES AWAY UNTIL I FILL IT AGAIN. I DON'T TOP IT OFF, YET THIS HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME.
