2005 Avalon makes a whistling noise that comes from the window, and there is a knocking sound when turning. Gears felt as though they were slipping. ***** the injectors made a loud tapping noise. The front end made a knocking noise when making a slow left turn. The dealer installed window seals to alleviate the wind noise. The consumer heard a rattling noise on the dash as if the dash board was coming apart.
