2010 Toyota Avalon

For the 2010 Avalon, the complaint picture centers on vehicle speed control and steering. The speed control complaints follow a well-documented pattern for this era of Toyota, owners report unintended acceleration or difficulty controlling vehicle speed, sometimes at highway speeds. Steering draws the second-largest share of complaints, with owners describing the tilt/telescoping steering column latch coming loose while driving, causing the steering wheel to unexpectedly drop or slide out of position. That column latch failure shows up across multiple reports and is the most specific recurring mechanical symptom owners describe. Exterior lighting rounds out the top three, with a handful of owners reporting headlight or taillight failures, though at lower volume than the first two systems. A smaller number of reports mention dashboard cracking along the passenger side, which owners describe as progressive and worsening over time.
