What owners wrote
Our 2008 toyota avalon was rammed from the rear with full force from a honda crv going 40 MPH. The avalon was slowing down to allow a groundhog to cross on a straight 2 lane road at the time, but the driver of the honda behind seems to have been a distracted driver because she did not stop accelerating. The driver of the avalon suffered head, neck, back and hip injuries and was transported by ambulance to the hospital. The damage to both vehicles is extensive-pictures of the avalon attached.
In the sunlight the dashboard has emitted a sticky substance, which is reflected onto the front window, impairing the drivers vision. Toyota is not doing anything about the problem, per their representative.
