2018 Toyota C-HR Engine Problems

Whirring noise, something loose in transmission - many cases of this but no recall or recourse to fix a defect

My 2018 CHR has a faulty bearing in its transmission. This is a common problem in this make and model. Toyota is quoting customers $13,000 to replace this part. My vehicle started experiencing a noise and when taken to dealership was told the transmission is going out at only 90,000 miles. This is a huge safety concern that they know this is an issue with this vehicle and no recall has been made. This car is a true lemon and customers are being put in danger by owning it with no recall.

The car's transmission starts making noise at 81600 miles on odometer. I turned my car to Toyota certified repair shop to inspecting, Toyota technician told me that the car transmission has fail and needs to be replaced. Toyota is not responsible for replacement. It cost $14000 for the parts plus labors. I had this car for little more than 7 years, The car' transmission has not even reached 100000 miles it fails. Toyota usually making reliable car but this one fail miserably

My transmission failed and I took it to the dealership. They recommended I replace the transmission that would cost 11,000. I have 120k miles driven in my car and regular get it maintenance. After looking online I saw that I was not alone with the Ch-r model. It is ridiculous that a repair would cost half of a brand new car. This is very anti consumer behaviors coercing car owners to buy new cars since repairing them is so expensive.

The transmission on my 2018 Toyota C-HR has been malfunctioning, and there is a noticeable grinding or rattling noise coming from the front end while driving. The issue occurs consistently during driving. This problem puts my safety at risk because the vehicle hesitates to accelerate properly, and the noise suggests a potential mechanical failure that could lead to loss of control while driving. The issue has not yet been officially confirmed by the Toyota dealer, but I plan to have it inspected. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The problem started around 67,000 mileages in October, and there were no warning lights or dashboard messages before the issue began. The noise has gradually worsened over time.

My transmission is going out at 60 thousand miles

The transmission bearing has an internal failure making the vehicle jerk and noisy. When I drive the car it shakes / jerks A LOT. My safety is put at risk because the car can stall out. TOYOTA LET ME DRIVE MY CAR HOME FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AFTER FAILING TO FIX THE ISSUE. I currently cannot drive my car because I can stall out and crash! I had no warnings, no lights , no nothing telling me there was an issue ! It just started jerking when I was driving. I have been to the dealer I bought the car from and they did nothing to fix the issue. How can an issue like this not show up on my car dashboard!! ? I have video of the car jerking as well.

The transmission and torque converter both failed one morning. As soon as I️ realized I️ had a problem I️ took it to the mechanic. My car is available for inspection. I️ was lucky is happened while not driving. The issue has been confirmed by the mechanic as the problem and the NHTSA comments from others show it is a reoccurring problem with 2018 CHR Toyotas. The car has not been inspected by police or insurance representative. My car had a oil change a month prior at same mechanic and no lights or issues.

Transmission failed on a well maintained CHR at 80k miles. The noise started as a low hum and got louder and louder. When we brought it in for a diagnostic test, the dealer told us the transmission went bad and the repair was 9k. The car is out of their warranty so they refuse to replace the transmission. The transmission is faulty and it’s failure had nothing to do with the car’s maintenance. Forums online have shown this as a known problem. Toyota has not recalled this dangerous transmission. The failure started when we were in warranty, we just didn’t know it was the transmission. We replaced breaks and put a new set of tires thinking this could be the issue. Toyota is failing to make good on their promise for safe and reliable cars. It’s basically a lemon and sadly, we are not alone in the disappointment of Toyota not recalling this car for bad transmissions.

Transmission went out more than once, the first time within warranty only a few years after the vehicle was on the market two years after getting it replaced it was no longer within warranty and they are refusing to repair it. I would have to pay $1200 if you look at the Toyota forum there are thousands and thousands and thousands of people with 2018 CHR who are having the same exact problem. The fact that the Corolla CVT engines are being recalled and other vehicles are being recalled except for the CHR is ridiculous. Please look into
