I have 2019 Avalon Touring- I’ve taken my vehicle to the dealership three times with the same complaint about noise which appears to be coming from the rear drivers side. This last time they kept my vehicle two days. I picked up my vehicle and it still has the same noise coming from the rear when you get over 45 miles per hour. It gets more apparent when around 65-70 MPH. I live the design and performance of the vehicle but it’s not worth the price if the vehicle is going to be noisy. ——- That was my review months ago. Today, 7/29, my noise issue is completely resolved. The noise issue was from the exhaust.

I have read several reviews and this is a support and confirmation for their reviews as well as mine... This is my 2nd Avalon. The other being 2015-Limited model. I love this new Avalon. There are 2 issues that need Toyota to adjust: A) the noise in the rear that sounds like a waffling sound on speeds over 45. I think this sound has to do with the fin on the trunk and the wind circling around it making the sound. Another logical reason could be the fake additional exhaust tail pipe that has been added for looks but has no function. However, I do like the quad exhaust tail-pipe look. B) the new transmission with 8 speeds has a bit of hesitation on original pick-up when applying the accelerator. The authorized and certified Toyota mechanic that drove the car with me advised the transmission is assisting the driver find the desired speed and then get the right gear to get the car to that speed as quickly as possible. This was a weak answer which told me the mechanic had no explanation of cause.

Wind Noise is definately annoying

This a warning if you are considering purchasing this vehicle. While this is a quality-built vehicle, in my opinion it has an annoying engineering flaw. The flaw is a significant, sporadic wind and road noise on the driver’s side and when driving over 50 miles per hour it gets louder as your speed increases. Outside conditions such as wind speed and cross currents also effect the level of the noise. Brought it to the dealership and the service manager drove it. His comment was he heard the noises but said it was characteristic of the car and that nothing could be done. REALLY!

NOISY

Same complaint as Cynthia’s on 1/26/2019. They’ve had my car for 5 days and I need it back for travel. I have to go for another ride with the service personnel so yet another person can hear the “eggs rattling in a plastic case noise” in the rear driver’s side door down low. I am not happy with this noise issue since a quiet car was one of my top priorities in buying this vehicle. I really hope they can fix it. Thanks Cynthia for backing up my complaint.

Great road car --on a highway or by-way. It took awhile to get used to its length in tight parking lot/garage situations but now only its amazing features stand out. Comfortable but in control driving experience with enough instant performance (in the Touring version) to make it an outstanding choice at any price ... but the price sealed the deal. Bought the extended warranty because of quirky electronics in any vehicle these days but so far nothing but "open road" and happy days. --After 1 1/2 years, the vehicle still feels a bit too large in parking situations since the auto braking feature engages the brakes with a bit more than a foot left before contact with another parked vehicle. On the plus side based on longer experience, the front seats are easy to get into despite not being an SUV; I especially like the automatic return of the driver's seat to a far-back position whenever leaving the vehicle (and, therefore, there at that position upon entering -- very easy to enter and exit). As with most vehicles these days, the transmission shifts at points design to make the manufacturer's mpg numbers rather than for "spirited performance" --the self-shifting mode, however, provides enough occasional "fun" for me in that regard. Have had no problems with the electronics so far.
