When we brought in( on a wrecker) they said it was a common thing, some sort of valve that had ruptured. Before she noticed the oil leak, she drove to my sisters house about 5-6miles away. When she was leaving is when she noticed oil on there garage as well. When I got there it looked like maybe 2qts had leaked out at my sisters house and then another 2-3qts at my moms house. Two questions, is this really something that is happening to the new Avalons and what kind of engine damage can we expect if any? Should we demand a 100k warranty on the engine or do you guys think we're safe? Thanks in advance!!!

Well.........I just waved bye bye to my Avalon (06).........cranked her up this morning to warm up for the babies and came back out to a pool of oil...........I called Toyota Mall of Georgia and they advised of a "problem that Toyota is aware of".....the part I did not like was "National Backorder"....I advised I needed to get it towed in and they gave me the info for the towing company they use..........tow truck guy said they haul em in all the time..........that's nice to hear......
Gonna be interesting to see what they have to say about "costs"........
