What owners say
While driving my 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback XSE, I lost almost all power to my accelerator and a check engine light appeared on my dash. I came to a stop and stalled the vehicle, once it stalled I turned the engine back on and shifted into reverse a felt and heard a loud clunk noise coming from right under my car and its not only shifting into reverse is the loud noise active but its also shifting into drive from reverse. I scanned my vehicle with a aftermarket scan tool and got 2 exact same codes for "Torque Converter Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Control Circuit Performance/Stuck Off" and then two more codes for "Torque Converter Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Control Actuator Stuck On". My torque converter in my CTV transmission failed. I was not at a risk of putting other people or myself in danger but if would have if i was moving faster at the time this happened. I have done my research on the recalls that are active on this vehicle and on the Toyota OEM TIS website there is only 1 recall that was taken care of in 2021 for the fuel pump and then there is a Warranty Enhancement Program for the Flow Shut-off Valve Coolant Leak. I did not find anything on that Toyota TIS website about the CVT recall but when i search my year, make and model on the web, I see that there is a recall for about 3,400 vehicles in the USA and nearly 1,000 in Canada that have a active recall for the CTV. I also saw the recall consequence and it matches up with what happened with my Corolla. I have attempted to contact 5 difference Toyota dealerships in my state to have them help me figure out the issue I am having with my vehicle not being listed in the recall but my CTV just failed. No one has reached back out in the past two days and I am continuing to call almost 3 times a day. I would like some clarity on how I should go about handling this issue.
Transmission failed at 106000 miles
Transmission went out at 28k miles. New transmission put in by service department lags or gets stuck at 5000 rpm’s and won’t shift. Forward collision warning light comes on with nothing in front of vehicle at random 2 times it’s trigger automatic braking
After the recall transmission replacement was performed, started to hear a loud metal clanking on a slow speed when a vehicle is downshifting to the first gear. While this is happening the whole car brakes (transmission breaks it) for half a second.
There is a known safety recall affecting the transmission of this car such that it could lose motive power without warning. It was discovered on 12/19/18. After driving the car for weeks, I discovered the recall online, and ended up in a loaner. I was told by the toyota customer experience center that the car was a safety hazard, and I could not be allowed to drive the vehicle. I have been in a loaner since 1/11/19 and calling regularly, but I still do not have a date for the end of this. They have clearly not been timely in getting out the new transmissions for the 2019 toyota corolla hatchbacks despite preparing and releasing on time an entire line of 2020 toyota corollas.
