Ride and transmission questions

The interior, styling, and reliability are unquestionable, highest ratings. I owned a 2007 Avalon and the newer, 2013 forward, Avalons don't ride as well, you can feel every bump on the road unlike older versions. Then there is the automatic transmission. My 2007 was a smooth riding vehicle and the newer Avalons simply don't have the acceleration and easy to no jerking between gears. Also, the transmission is somewhat noisy compared to earlier Avalons. What a shame as this was the car I was targeting to buy but will now look elsewhere.

I have had my Avalon for 5 1/2 years. I bought it new. It has 88,000 miles on it. I had an upholstery shop add additional foam to the front seats because they were very hard. At 74,000 miles a very loud noise occurred when hitting a bump in the road. I took the car to my Toyota dealer. There was a defect in the sunroof that was apparently caused by the improper installation of the sunroof when the car was manufactured. The cost of the repair was $2,000. I called Toyota Headquarters and they agreed to pay for 50 percent of the repairs which consisted of installing a shim kit that required placing a shim at each weld in the sunroof. I have had no further issues to date with the sunroof. I have not had any other repairs done to the car. The suspension system in this year car is a little too stiff and the ride is somewhat rough on rough roads.

This Avalon has a terrible design flaw. The interior chrome trim around the controls, air conditioner vents, and doors cause a blinding glare when driving in the sunlight. I have had many Toyota vehicle and have always been very pleased until now. I have written and called Toyota, called and written AutoNation and offered solutions but have not been offered any solutions from these companies. Before you purchase search the internet for Avalon glare problem! I wish that I knew before I purchased.
