Description:
I shared a common issue that many Toyota CH-r owners are having and not receiving compensation for it. Toyota Canada has been working with APA to advocate for extended warranty. Official forums and webpages have been created that exemplifies who tremendously widespread this issue has become. [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] accident have occurred to this vehicle. Sound occurring during acceleration. Transmission sound progressively worsened between 88,000-89,500 miles. Mechanics were unable to determine issue, relating it to the CV axel and sound near the transmission. Brought it to the dealership and was told that it is in fact transmission failure. Further research has led me to believe that malfunction that caused the transmission failure is due to the in adequate CV axel. My safety has been put at risk for +1 year because the issue was to unidentifiable to multiple mechanics. Therefore I unknowingly drove my car with a failing transmission on the interstate to work daily. my safety everyday but simply getting in the car, unsure if that day was going to be the day when my car stopped accelerating on the interstate, when someone could have rammed in the back of my car going +60 mph and could’ve killed me and possible the other driver. My CHR 2018 has been inspected by the Toyota Dealership in Metairie, Louisiana. There were no warning signs of the issue. They issue back noticeable when acceleration being to slow down. I could tell my car wasn’t taking off as fast as it originally did. The noise under my driver side tired became evident just over a year ago April 2024 around 88,000 miles and has gotten louder since.
