problem #2

I was driving home from school, and while trying to change lanes on fairly busy road on a hill and my car with a CVT transmission stalled out and a check engine light appeared on my dash with a message reading -€œdrive-start control malfunction-€. While trying to limp the car home, the engine killed power three or four times within like a five minute drive up some hilly roads and I constantly had to pull to the side and turn the car off and on just to make it up the next hill. I took it in the same day the issue were happening and they didn-€™t diagnose the issue until two three week after I had originally brought it in and said it was a CVT issue. A week or two prior to this happening, I was coming down a hill towards a stop light and when I get hit the stop light my car jerked and the -€œdrive-start control malfunction-€ messages appeared then immediately went away, so I paid it no mind.

Car was in dealership twice in one week for jerking while driving dealership said it was abc and was so called -€œfixed-€ both times only had my car for a little bit back before I had to take it back. 3rd time in the same week my transmission went out on me while on the highway with young kids in the car and almost caused a wreck. Car got towed in was confirmed it was my transmission and a dozen other codes going off. Toyota is lucky that the semi that was behind me when this happened did not plow into
