2007 Toyota Avalon 4dr Sedan

268-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD

90000 mi

US $250
Replaced two coils 
99000 mi

US $1350
Check engine light for air/fuel sensors. Could have replaced sensor but due to a defect in the exhaust manifold this issue would not go away completely. Had to replace exhaust manifold and 2 air/fuel sensors. 
44000 mi Hose to oil system failed. Lost all oil. Toyota said some Avalons have this issue. yet, no recall or service bulletin. 
159000 mi

US $120
Flex exhaust pipe was replaced. 
169000 mi

US $150
air filter was overdue for change and was changed 
120800 mi

US $800
Replaced spark plugs & belts 
187000 mi

US $75
Check engine light flashing. Showed 3 cylinders had misfired. Reset codes, replaced gas cap, added Techron fuel cleaner, and started going to Chevron for gas instead of cheapest I can find. This car's at almost 200K so I think I need to baby it a bit with higher quality gas and dropping a bottle of Techron in every 2-3 months. So far no more misfires...fingers crossed. 
81000 mi

US $1000
Bad ignition coil Bad head gasket 
103000 mi top of radiator blew hole below filler cap, temp gauge hot , repair light on dash, need replacement radiator 
25000 mi

US $240
Exhaust manifold has design flaw but no recall. Air/fuel sensor Bank 1, sensor 1 fails prematurely. Replace mainfold/sensor for $1800 or sensor for $240 every 20,000'ish miles. I chose the latter. Good now for another few years (I hope) 
34200 mi This is the second time the air-fuel sensor has died. An OEM replacement was used last time and lasted only 1 year. There is a design-flaw in the exhaust manifold. Must be replaced to avoid repeated repairs, but that would cost $1800 :-( UPDATE: May 2017 - 5 years later: No new failures of this part. Perhaps the second replacement done in 2012 will be the last one. Did they fix the sensor design ? (I still haven't replaced the exhaust manifold which was the original Toyota recommendation) 
35000 mi

US $15
Gas smell in garage on very hot days. Replaced gas cap and seems to have gone away. Finally got around to replacing A/F sensor (for second time - see earlier entries). Replaced it myself with help of a friend (with OEM part like before). We'll see how long it lasts on this second sensor. (First one lasted only 14 months) UPDATE: May 2017 - 5 years later: No new failures of this part. Perhaps the second replacement done in 2012 will be the last one. Did they fix the sensor design ? (I still haven't replaced the exhaust manifold which was the original Toyota recommendation) 
74500 mi

US $550
check engine light - code shows evap leak. repaired hoses and canister. much time in analysis of what was wrong and how to fix 
87000 mi

US $215
Intermittent misfire cyl #3. Replaced #3 ignition coil and plugs. Still misfired. Ultimately fixed by cleaning contacts and wiring to ECM (Engine Control Module). 
66000 mi a rubber oil hose broke resulting in the loss of engine oil 
80000 mi

US $120
Number 3 coil had to be replaced
