Toyota Repair: 2011 Toyota Avalon Wind Noise, toyota avalon, wind resistance


Question
We just purchased a brand new 2011 Avalon w Sport Trim.  We immediately discovered loud and annoying wind resistance noises on the Drivers Side beginning at around 60 mph.  The Service Dept at the dealership also heard the noises, and located a Tech Bulletin T-TT-0065-10 issued 12/7/2010 called Door Glass Wind Noise.  They informed us that there is no repair available but will keep us informed.  That is totally unacceptable on a brand new vehicle of that cost.  What is your knowldge of this problem and any progress being made to remedy it since the Tech Bulletin was issued?

Answer
Toyota has not issued a technical service bulletin for a fix for the noise, they have issued an advisory to the dealers, they are aware of the problem but have no repair procedure as of yet, here is the official statement from toyota regarding this concern: This issue is currently under investigation. Please contact Technical Assistance (TAS) to submit
details on any vehicles identified matching the condition described in this document.
