No warning lights presenting on dash board, my car started making a noise around 100k (almost like something was rubbing against the tire, think playing card in a bicycle spoke) and I thought maybe it was my loose splash guard causing it. No physical issues (gears up/down fine, no vibrations, no shimmy, no play in the steering). Took it to Dav Cava toyota dealership and was told i needed to replace both my transmission and torque converter. $10,500 estimate. That's more than i owe on the vehicle. I have kept oil changes since I've had it (bought used at around 65k miles). I bought toyota because they're a trusted brand. Imagine the stomach-turning disappointment when I was told I needed to come up with $10,500 when I work hard to pay the payments and general maintenance on this car! Checking the forums it seems I'm not the only one having this issue and as a single mom who desperately needs a break, I hope toyota checks these forums and sees that this is an issue that needs addressed!

The vehicle has only 106 thousand miles on it, and it started to make a loud sound while driving it with lots of hesitation to accelerate out of the first gear. There were no warning lights on the dashboard. I took it to my mechanic, who stated it was the CVT transmission. The estimated cost is over 6 thousand. I am waiting on the final quote. It is impossible to believe that Toyota has not recalled this vehicle based on this issue and the many complaints.

At about 64,000 miles I began to hear a loud sound come out of my car while I drove it, so I took it to the Toyota dealership and they said I need a new transmission. My safety and family-??s safety is put at risk because my car can stop at any point while driving it. The problem is confirmed by the Toyota dealership! My vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer only the dealership that I bought my car from. There was no warning signs on my car such as a check engine light or anything like that which is even more alarming. The only way I knew there was a problem with my car was because of the sound. Many people are having issues with the transmission when it comes to the Toyota CHR which is surprising how there isn-??t a recall already on this because it-??s not fair for a car to be at 64k miles and need a new transmission that is super expensive.

While driving, my vehicle suddenly jerked and lost significant speed without warning, putting my life at serious risk on the road. When I took it to Toyota, they quoted me over $11,000 to replace the faulty transmission. This issue has been widely reported with Toyota vehicles, yet it remains unresolved. It's alarming to think that someone might have to lose their life before the company takes meaningful action to address this dangerous defect.

Transmission has failed on this 2019 Toyota CHR 2 years after purchase. Took to Toyota dealership and was told this vehicle is notorious for transmission issues from year 2018-2020. Both Toyota dealership and headquarters are unwilling to look into the issue because there is no -??recall-?? even though supervisor at dealership stated this is an ongoing issue. $10,000 quote for a $17,000 vehicle. Vehicle is out of warranty and was not given any help with this issue.

Transmission humming at 76k miles, and jerking wildy, almost caused wreck that could have killed me and daughter! And I am not, and I repeat I am not the only one with this problem. All it takes is a quick Google search to find out that nearly all 2018-2019 Toyota Ch-r owners are all complaining about this, and for a 9k Transmission when you still owe 16-24k in payments is ludicrous! Toyota needs to address and fix the issue!

1- occassion #1 I made a slow right turn into a parking space at walgreens. I pressed the brake, the pedal went to the floor, the vehicle continued forward, jumped the curb and was stopped by a fence about 4 feet in front of the curb. No harm done. 2- I made a slow right turn into a parking space at sonic, the pedal went to the floor, the car jumped the curb, continued forward and started downward into a retention pond (empty, no water) I was able to stop the car after I took my foot off the pedal and it began to work normally. My car scraped a fence post and I had to drive forward into the retention area to free my car to get back on the road. These incidents were about 5 months apart. Related - my automatic braking light has flashed and beeped without any situation being present. The radar sensor has slowed the car when cruise control was engaged as a car infant of me pulled off the freeway to exit.
