| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Engine oil gelling. my 2001 avalon xls has 42,000 miles and is in the shop for extensive repairs due to oil gelling. i changed the oil regularly and there is no reason for this to happen absent a defect in the design. i have been a loyal toyota customer and this is my 4th toyota car. dependability is the no. 1 priority for me. to add insult to injury, because i must depend on my vehicle while it was in the shop i decided to trade it in for a 2004 lexus. imagine my disgust when the dealer discounted the value of the trade-in because of oil gelling. a lot of people are having this problem. *la |
