Anyone else experiencing a loud whining noise coming from transmission. It's especially bad while slowing down

 

[DrZeus]

Hmmm.... I just recently started hearing a high pitched whine coming from somewhere. I'm not sure that I would consider it loud- just annoying and concerning. It seems (from the drivers perspective) to come from the right front (tire? ). Increased pitch as car excelerates and decreases as it slows down. And it does seem less prominent at higher speeds (but that may just be because it increases pitch beyond human 20,000 hz hearing range). It also seems to be more evident in cooler temperatures, in the morning commute, but not always. I didn't consider the tranny but maybe? 2018 chr xls NA version 30,000 miles... Anyone else??? Any thoughts on this issue?

Did you figure anything out Mark? Hopefully it was nothing serious...

2018 C-HR Canada with 40 000 km i hear the whining with the acceleration. Sometimes I dont hear it at all or may be I just don't notice but it is certainly there increases with the acceleration and decreases when i let go off the gas

Thank you! Maybe I'm not losing my mind... Sounds exactly like my issue... Anyone else experiencing this?

No worries DrZeus. Btw coincidentally i have the same colour c-hr as you and we both have the similar issue 😐

BINGO Mark!!! It is indeed my tranny! Good call... Hopefully yours won't be an issue...

Yes i recently been experiencing the same thing at 46000 miles only when driving

 

[DrZeus]

Sorry to hear snoop. Hopefully it's nothing serious. In my case, the transmission and torque convertor needed replaced, and I'm not the only one...

The dealer said it's something in the transmission and it's making the oil turn dark and that's not good

The transmission is replaced at the same time as the torque converter because there is no available remanufactured tranny for the CHR available through Toyota. They sell the tranny with no torque inserted, you order the torque separate it will always be like this until a reman comes available. Not sure what's failing, sounds like bearing inside the transmission. I'm a service manager in Canada, we've done 3 so far all with 90km-106km.
Not good. Built in Turkey! Gwan

2018 toyota CHR 63000 miles took it to toyota it was making a humming noise. Need new transmission! purchased car new and toyota does not want to cover!

I bought mine 2018 but it's a new 2019 model with 11,000 miles as of today. I know what you guys hearing especially on the driver's side. That humming sounds like a turbo, I will bring this up on my next service and it seems like pretty concerning to me.

Ugh. Hope it's not the same problem I had...

Transmission failure/replacement 2018 C-HR XLE

FYI, the transmission in my 2018 C-HR XLE has failed and was replaced (under warranty) in February 2020 with just over 36,000 miles. First indication that something was wrong was hearing a whining noise coming from the front end. If anyone else is or has experienced this problem, please let me...
