Broken Front Coil Spring

My 2006 Avalon hit a small dip in the road and the right front coil spring snapped (thankfully at the very bottom) . I removed the broken part and was disappointed to find out it is a very light weight spring and looks like & feels like it was made out of pot metal. And my Platinum Extended Warranty (that I never used and cost me an extra 1K) is over the time limit. Car has 94K and we bought it new. As far as Toyota Service goes they have been a disappointment , they try and get a person to have expensive un-needed work done on their vehicles . I will call Toyota in the A:M and plead my case. Anyone else have this happen? if not beware these coil springs are junk.
Best Car ever in the last 12 years

This car can easily beat many of the luxury cars in style, performance, comfort and features. I bought it used and will be driving it until many years to come. The only drawback I find is that it doesn't have iPod Jack which I'm going to have installed. Every time I drive the car, I appreciate it even more then last time. Fuel economy is unbelievable, it gives me 30+ on the highways. I'm a car lover and even though its not really a driver's car but I'm willing to compensate only that part with everything else in the car. The rear seat room is like a limousine and it even reclines. I am never worried about the repair costs, its like driving a German car with no maintenance

We have always had great experiences with Toyota Avalons. My husband drove our last Avalon for years with minimal service required. We recently just purchased another used Avalon 2006 Limited without any hesitation. High quality, affordable, and it was nice to know that the value of the car did not depreciate as soon as we drove it off the lot (like other brands).
It has 302,554 miles on the odometer and still fun

Seriously, the person i purchased the car from was meticulous about changing the oil every 2,500-3,000 miles. I have a stack of receipts to prove this. I've owned it now for 1 year and put 25,000 of the miles on it. Ive read that VVT timing is an issue on many similar models.That is the valve timing when intake and exhaust valves open and close for maximum power and efficiency. I'm a lead foot driver and i'll be honest here. I previously owned a $100,000 exotic BMW with a V12 engine. I had that car up to 155 mph a couple times in safe conditions. This 2006 Avalon puts out the same horsepower and ive had it up to 135 mph. It has large disc brakes on all 4 wheels and very crisp accelerationonce you get to know the drive by wire throttle lag timing. That means there's like a bluetooth connection between gas pedal and the venturis opening and making the engine rev. its somewhat annoying but hey, so many other pluses in this car like the sport shift transmission. Great for downshifting on hills. Porsche has Triptonic transmission i was impressed with. Now ive got the feature in my Avalon. 300,000 andthe engine has never had a c ylinder head removed. My smooth idle tells me ive got good compression in all cylinders still. What a car! Thank you Toyota!

3 yrs old w/ 60k and maintained by the dealer. At 55k miles had the oil leak others mention. Originally 31mpg, now 25. The steering sometimes sticks when making a left turn and accelerating from a standing start. Keyless entry on the driver's door is failing 50% of the time. Cooling feature of driver's eat no longer works. Transmission taking longer to shift (will it make 100k?).
