2018 Toyota C-HR

My car would not go forward nor backwards after the transmission making crazy sounds Now I'm a disabled woman who the dealer that I financed this car from has said I have no warranty whatsoever. Alot of customers are having to replace their transmission on this year and make Toyota with odometer reading as low as 33,xxxx miles to mine which has 94,xxxx and others with lower mileage than mine Toyota or you all should do what's right by us and recall these transmissions

I've had a second CVT transmission failure. The first one happened at 85906 miles, and now my second one is at 98995 six months later. Vehicle has been dealership serviced it whole life. These transmissions have some sort of fault that needs looking into and accountability needs to be taken. Toyota claims that there are no known issues with the part, but myself and many others with the Turkey built models are having these problems. Critical parts on vehicles should not be treated as disposable, and that's Toyotas attitude on it. $9,000 replacement cost on a 20,000 car is ridiculous.

Bought this vehicle brand new in 2018 from Toyota dealer and took it to all scheduled maintenance intervals at Toyota dealerships, including the 50,000 mile service at 48,000 miles in 2024. At 48,800 miles began hearing a whining noise from the engine. Took it to dealer at 48,882 miles and was informed I would need a new transmission with a quoted repair price of $8,900 USD. Search of C-HR forums and NHTSA reviews shows this to be a common and recurring problem. Dealer told me I was outside of my warranty based on the age of the vehicle. Dealer suggested I contact Toyota corporate for assistance as this is extremely low mileage for such an extensive repair. Toyota corporate only confirmed that the age of the vehicle was outside of warranty, offered zero assistance with repair costs, and indicated it would be an "out of pocket expense". This CVT is clearly an issue and could create an unsafe condition for drivers who are completely not expecting a Toyota powertrain to fail so early in its life. The fact that Toyota refuses to acknowledge, or provide assistance, is a travesty considering the reputation of the brand.

I started to hear the wining noise from the front of the vehicle. When I took the car for inspection to Toyota dealership they told me this is transmission that makes this noise and it started way before. Transmission needs to be replaced. There was no warning lamps,messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure,that makes it extremely dangerous in the situation of failure of transmission, because the car will stop suddenly during driving.

The contact owns a 2018 Toyota C-HR. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact noticed a grinding sound when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The dealer was made aware of the failure. The contact was advised that the service manager would go to the residence and the vehicle would be driven to the dealer by the service manager. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a failed transmission and that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and agreed to assist with the cost of the repair. In addition, the contact was advised to report the failure to the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

83,000 Miles. Buzzing sound coming from transmission. Diagnosed by Toyota garage and an independent garage. I was told the transmission must be replaced at a cost of $9,400. This seems to be a recurring problem, especially with the 2018 Toyota C-HR CVT transmission. Upon researching this problem, I have found many complaints about this problem in Toyota C-HR forums some consumers having the problem with their C-HR as low as 30,000 miles! This is unacceptable and I suggest all repair costs be refunded and a recall be processed. It is obvious that there is a manufacture fault with that particular transmission. Please note that the cost of this repair is a devastating financial set back to those involved. My C-HR book price is $16,000 and a rather low-milage vehicle. This repair cost is well over half the value of the vehicle and emotionally I am distraught over this imposed financial burden that is the fault of the manufacture producing faulty product.

Power train failed on my 3 year old car. It could've been catastrophic if it failed on the road. The CVT transmission is a mess. It's also caused undue financial burden on every CHR owner since the power train had continued to fail uncontrollably. This car was traded in since the transmission had failed. There should be a recall on every CVT that was manufactured in 2018. Every owner and previous owner should be compensated for the loss. After market and rebuilt power trains weren't available since the car was 3 years old. Almost $10k to replace this transmission. This car was taken to a Toyota dealer who assured me that is was "cupped tires". I'm confident that they knew what the problem was. By the time the power train failure was detected, the car was out of warranty. Thanks
