| Failure of the hinges and torsion bars that are mounted for the trunck lid of my 2006 toyota avalon, limited. the torsion bar rotates into the trunk space about 5 inches and can hit items in the trunck and dislodge the the torsion bar and damage a weak mounting bracket. this failure is not graceful but immediate. upon opening the trunck with the torsion bar dislodged or the bar becomes dislodged the trunk can come back and hit you in the head or a child being held. i notified the dealer and toyota of the problem and was told that it was covered under the 36000/ 3yr warranty which i exceded. however, after several more contacts i was able to determine that there was a technical service bulletin bo030-06 issued in december 2006. my concern is that there was never any warning on limiting the useful space in the trunck nor any notification of the potential failure. my concern is that toyota new about this safety issue and was reluctant to acknowledge the problem and that there was a potential fix that may or may not be sufficient. no corrective action was provided. | |||

| Toyota avalon 2006 has a protruding piece cylinder in the mid-section of the trunk that has a cutout with an extremely sharp edge. it cut my finger when putting groceries in my trunk and my daughter's friend when removing luggage. this could be very serious for diabetics and caused significant cuts for both of us. *jb | |||

| I slowed to pull into a parking space on the roof of parking garage. i tapped my brake and felt a sudden surge of power. (noisy power sound) i forcefully pushed down on the brakes and burned rubber making visible skid marks. the car went over both the cement bumper in front of my car and the cement bumper of the facing car and came to a stop when it hit his car. both cars sustained major damage to the front. i was not injured and no one was in the car i hit. it is fortunate that this did not occur at a stop with pedestrians. *tr | |||
