The final drive bearing within the continuously variable transmission is causing a whining noise. Diagnoses from the dealer is that the entire transmission needs to be replaced. This component transmits all engine torque to the wheels, and if failure occurs, it could cause overheating, slippage, jerking, or stalling putting the driver, passengers and all other persons on the road at risk. No indication of the failure was communicated by the vehicle via a light or message. I had to hear the noise, know it was a problem and bring it in to the dea…

ODI 11687834

I am writing to report a serious and potentially dangerous defect with my 2018 Toyota C-HR. Shortly after purchasing this vehicle, I began experiencing multiple issues related to the transmission. The car makes a persistent whining noise while accelerating, which was immediately concerning for a new vehicle. More alarmingly, the vehicle sometimes suddenly stops accelerating and begins to jerk unexpectedly while driving. This has happened on the road and creates a hazardous situation for myself and other drivers, as it can be difficult to mainta…

I STOPPED AT A FRIENDS HOUSE. WHEN I LEFT, THE CAR WOULD NOT START. DASHBOARD MENTIONED MY BRAKES, MALFUNCTION. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I HAD BROUGHT THE CAR IN A FEW WEEKS EARLIER BECAUSE MY ODOMETER STARTED CHANGING FROM TRIP A TO TOTAL MILEAGE EVERY TIME I RESTARTED THE CAR. IT DIDN'T DO THAT BEFORE. ALSO THE CLOCK RANDOMLY LOOKS MORE LIKE AN ERROR CODE THAN THE TIME, IT CORRECTS ITSELF AFTER 10 MIN. OR SO. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE ODOMETER JUST CHANGES BACK ( I TOLD THEM IT NEVER DID THAT BEFORE) AND T…

SLOW PARASITIC DRAIN ON THE NEW BATTERY. AT FIRST SIGNS SHOW WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE THE DISPLAY DASH RESETS BACK TO THE DEFAULT SCREEN AND THEN EVENTUALLY YOU HAVE TO JUMP START THE VEHICLE EVERY TIME FOR USE.

Electrical system malfunction. Abnormal voltage power steering low. These messages turned on after we felt the steering wheel become really heavy and making it hard to make the freeway entrance. The Toyota Ch-R shut down right before we merged onto the freeway. We were left on the blind spot of the freeway entrance in the night, so it left us quite vulnerable to an accident and possible death. The vehicle will be taken to Toyota dealership, since it still falls under the 60 month warranty.
