Description:
2019 Toyota CHR was inspected on 03/26/2025 at the dealership it was originally purchased at and was determined to have a failed CVT transmission at around 77,000 miles. Due to the cost of a total transmission replacement, the extended warranty agency Assurant, sent a third party inspector to the dealership 48 hours later to independently inspect and they came to the same determination. Warning Signs: The only warning sign was a whining noise from the car that only happened as speeds increased to 30+ mph. There were no other warning signs, symptoms or lamps/lights indicating there was a transmission failure. Safety: This puts the safety of myself and other’s at risk because if the transmission would have failed while I was driving, I would have lost the ability to drive my vehicle, potentially in the middle of high traffic, putting myself and other’s at risk of crash and/or injury. Additionally, a basic search of the internet can tell you that the general public and presumably Toyota is well aware of this issue and yet there is no recall issue, nor have they issued an extended warranty.
