Forgot to add… transmissions are on back order for at least a month! Guess they can’t make them fast enough for us!

 

I had ours replaced 3 weeks ago. Dealer said there were 11 in Chicago inventory. I would verify w/Toyota corporate directly if you haven't already. Please keep us posted. (Would be interested in your aprox. location, driving style, did you get it new or used, any maint. on it)

 

Well that’s good to know! LOL
I’m in Central MS. Drive 70 miles per day for work, mostly interstate or 4 lane highway. Use the cruise control a lot! Usually drive in turbo mode. Bought it new in 2017, maintenance every 5K miles, when the light came on, or when something seemed off.
I drive fast, but never over 90; although it goes up to 140?!? 😮
Too old to do that, and definitely not racing! Have talked to Toyota but no resolution as of yet.

 

Standard called out maintenance does not cover transmission fluid changes. That's a separate service you have to request. It's sad that Toyota and other manufacturers are not including trans fluid service in their maintenance schedule but opt to give a false narrative that lifetime fluid is lifetime....which is false.

Side bar on the speedometer, just because the speedometer states 140 MPH doesn't mean the car can reach those speeds.

 

Toyota did nothing! So I divorced them, sold the car, and married Honda! So much for their loyalty! They lost a good customer and others that were loyal too! Adieu!

 

Definitely not what you expect from toyota, especially with your history.

 

Hi , wanted to ask those who have researched or posted if the transition problems reported are particularly on the hybrids or on the 1.2 petrol auto version affected also ?

 

CVTs used in hybrids are not the same as those used with ICE engines. All of the complaints thus far on this forum have been around the CVT used with the 3ZR-FAE 2.0L 4 cylinder engine. The FAE is as far as I know only used in North America with the C-HR. I don't know what CVT is used with the 1.2L turbo 4 cylinder you all have in the overseas market. So can't comment there. I know there is a C-HR forum that is mainly overseas focused. You should check out that forum for any reports of CVT issues with the 1.2L engine.

 

File a complaint with the NHTSA.
I called and spoke to them when my transmission went. They have received minimal complaints for an investigation. IF everybody that posted on this forum, submitted a complaint online, we could have an investigation, which Id assume would prompt Toyota to act.

I just submitted the issue also

 

Hi I have a similar issue on 2020 CHR. How did yours get resolved?

 

Hi seems like many of us are impacted. I have a 2020 CHR with the same issue. Do you have any bulletin’s on this?
