The problem started 11/12/2021. The car started jerking and dropping out of gear while driving. A mechanic changed the transmission fluid and filter thinking it may resolve the problem. It did not now getting a code P2757 indicating the torque converter clutch pressure control solenoid was failing. Toyota issued a bulletin dated October 20, 2018 on CK313 CVT P2757 valve body replacement. It-€™s on your website and also a software update for CVT transmission dated August 13,2018 also on your website. This car did not get the update or either bulletin. Toyota has had multiple problems with the control solenoid but no recall. There were no problems with warning lights or issues prior to the incident. A mechanic has assessed the problem. We have contacted Toyota dealership locally they have said no recalls on the car.
The contact owns a 2015 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle hesitated to accelerate with the accelerator pedal depressed. The contact stated that the vehicle loss motive power with the fuel, check engine, traction control, and oil level warning lights illuminated. The dealer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in a recall. The approximate failure mileage was 105,000.
The transmission on the vehicle has a tital of 19,752miles as of 5/3/2021. The vehicle's transmission has failed due to a "bad cylenoid" in the transmission. I am a 90 year old woman who went to my physicians office after my appointment I git in the car and attempted to place the car in reverse when it failed to move. I am the original owner of this vehicle and was shocked that there was a problem especially dibce I had just taken it to the dealer for regular maintenance. During that maintenance there were no noted problem bought to my sttentio. Hence I fell that this is a severe manufactureres defecr. I'm concerned that there is a serious defect and related isdues due to the dedign or manufacturing of the cvt transmission which I understand is a big issue that has been encountered in Toyota's 2014 to 2019 line of vehicles. While it seems that no recall were formally issued, I believe that there is a huge problem based on the failure of the cvt tramsmission... given that the normal transmission mileage for this model is ~ 250K miles so I strongly feel this situation is suspect. I also understand that vehicles with the cvt transmission are subject to a special service campaign. As such, I would like to report my vehicle for your consideration under this status as I desire to secure a favorable remedy for this manufacturer's defect. I would like assistance is exploring my options to get my vejicle back on the road without my having to come out of pocket with tbousands of dollars to correct the manufacturer's known defect.

When driving, my 2015 Corolla with a cvt transmission with ~74,000 miles, the car will often not accelerate, sometimes at high speeds on the freeway or low speeds in residential areas. For example, on Thursday, March 25, I was driving home from work when I had to safely pull over because my car would not accelerate. Since I was not on a busy street, I was able to drive home but at a highly reduced speed. Whenever this occurs it happens when I press the gas pedal. The car either lurches repeatedly or the engine revs to a high RPM with out accelerating. Basic maintenance such as changing the oil and coolant as required was done, however I am not sure what may have caused the issue. When I took it to the dealer on the 27th, I was also not aware that there was a recall that would help minimize wear on my cvt and since my vehicle is out of warranty, I am stuck with the only option of completely replacing the cvt transmission. I suspect that other drivers of the same vehicle may have not brought their car in for the recall and may be in the same position as me. Plus, I don't believe that a software update would have fixed anything. My car would stutter at a stop a year or two after I got the car.
I was diving down an interstate and after exiting to a stop, the car would barely go after turning left. After a few more miles, the car juat stopped. The engine would still run but no acceleration. After having the car towed and inspected, was told I needed a new transmission.
The contact owns a 2015 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated that while driving 55 mph, the vehicle jerked and loss motive power without warning. The vehicle was restarted however, the failure recurred. The contact stated that the failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to walters Toyota (30 walters ln, pikeville, ky 41501) to be diagnosed however, the mechanic was unable to retrieve a diagnostic trouble code. The vehicle was later taken to mann Toyota (1811 us-23, prestonsburg, ky 41653) to be diagnosed however, the mechanic also failed to retrieve a diagnostic trouble code. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.
I got a recall about my transmission last year (2019) and they checked it within minutes and said it seemed fine but if I had anymore issues to bring it back. Well the car was making sounds and I went to bryan easler Toyota in hendersonville, N.C. and spoke to the service department regarding my concerns since there had been a recall and I was told it wasn't, 't probably anything bad. Well I left went up the road and ten minutes later the transmission failed. Toyota towed it in and took a couple of days to call me and tell me that it had nothing to do with the transmission recall. That is bull what else makes a transmission just quit out of the blue. There are so many Toyota Corolla transmissions failing due to bad cvt transmissions and people who's warranty has expired are trying to be made to pay for Toyota crappy engine. I feel like it is a huge safety issue and Toyota should honor the transmission recall and replace the transmission at no cost to the customer. They want to charge me $6800 on top of the $7200 I owe not for a pile of junk.
Special service campaign jsd performed on Nov 03, 2019. The software component was updated, however the solenoid valve inspection and the valve body assembly replacement was determined as "not required". since then the cvt seems to have started to fail. At this point in time the transmission makes noise while accelerating and decelerating. The dealership recommends the replacement of the transmission and sites issues with the belt in the cvt. The vehicle was repaired with a used transmission. Consumer informed manufacturer of the failure. The manufacturer refused to help because the vehicle is out of warranty.
Passenger side wheel wobbles when accelerating. Had Toyota check for problems they said it was a problem with the rotors. Changed brakes and rotors and problem still exist. Was told it was tires and balance had them checked and it still wobbles.
The 'automatic transmission' seems to have an issue on this particular vehicle! while driving the car, I notice that the RPM gauge reaches approximately 5,000 to 5,250 rpms before the 'automatic transmission' shifts into the next forward gear! this situation happens while driving city streets and definitely while driving highways and interstates highways!!! to best describe this problem, it is basically like when I first learned how to drive a 'manual transmission vehicle' and I did not fully understand when it was time to shift into the next gear. Because the RPM gauge is reading so high before the 'automatic transmission' automatically shifts into the next gear ratio, it concerns me quite a bit!!! I had this similar issue when I owned a 1976 Pontiac trans-am. After the transmission on my current 2015 Toyota Corolla started acting like my old Pontiac trans-am, I started becoming very concerned with this transmission issue! because on my old 1976 Pontiac trans-am when the RPM gauge was running very high before the automatic transmission would shift to the next gear ratio, one day the transmission finally burned out all the forward 'automatic transmission' gears and all I had left to go up a hill was my 'reverse gear'!!! when I took the 1976 Pontiac trans-am into a Pontiac dealership, I was informed that all the forward gear clutch plates were burned out!!! so, if there are any additional complaints about this vehicles 'automatic transmission' then Toyota should look in to this issue and make the appropriate 'recall(s)'! I purchased this 2015 Toyota Corolla two years ago. This problem started approximately six-months ago, or around March of 2019!
I received a recall notice in the mail from Toyota - reference id jsd. The notice stated there was an issue with programming within the ECU that could potentially lead to issues with the car's transmission that would cause the transmission to not work properly and would also cause the vehicle to lose speed. Shortly after receiving the notice I experienced issues with my car's transmission while driving around speeds of 35-40 mph. Around these speeds, transmission would randomly downshift to a low gear and would not provide any power to engine. Nothing could be done to correct the issue while driving - any attempt to accelerate would just rev the engine to high RPM - and I would have to pull off to the side of the road and completely stop the car before the car would correctly drive. This problem occurred multiple times that morning. These first experiences occurred while driving on city streets. I called Toyota dealership to bring car in for service under the recall notice the same morning. While driving to the dealership on the highway I experienced the same issues. Toyota called me later that day asking if I had experienced any issues, and I told them about the experiences I had that morning while driving to work and while driving to the dealership. They told me the car was unsafe to drive due to the transmission issues. Later in the month they informed me that the issues were unrelated to the recall and that the transmission failed on its own so nothing was covered. No warning lights were illuminated on the dash, and there were no prior warning signs of any issues to alert me that something may be wrong with the transmission.
The contact owns a 2015 Toyota Corolla. While driving 55 mph, the vehicle shook violently. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to North hills Toyota (7401 mcknight rd, pittsburgh, pa 15237, (412) 318-3000) where it was diagnosed that the cv half shaft assembly failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact to schedule an appointment for an investigation. The failure mileage was approximately 63,762.
Vehicle is an le eco model with continuously variable transmission (cvt). Engine RPM will suddenly flare...often close to redline with throttle in steady cruise position, regardless of engine operating and ambient temperature. Vehicle will not accelerate (sluggish). It is subject to a dealer campaign, but dealer claims an internal failure and is being highly ambiguous about the actual failure. They simply want to install a $5,000+ replacement transmission. The vehicle is not safe to drive and seems to have a mind of its own. It is worse now since the dealer looked at it. Toyota and the dealer will not help the customer (me) in any way and claim that there are no problems known with this transmission, an assertion that is not supported by the scope of internet postings that can readily be located.
Special service campaign J0D - remedy notice certain 2014 - 2017 model year Corolla vehicles certain 2017 model year Corolla im vehicles certain 2016 model year Scion im vehicles - (suspended) vehicle will lose acceleration or not accelerate after coming to a complete stop and trying to accelerate. Vehicle was serviced at Toyota service center for a similar issue including an idle issue. Acceleration issue could not be replicated, but still happened several times afterwards. Initial issues started at 8K miles and has been serviced on time, multiple times for same issue with no resolve. Toyota has issued a recall in March 2018 for issue and suspended it due to the recall making the issues worse. No solution or other service offered to repair problem.
An intermittent problem with the transmission: The vehicle will downshift extremely hard when accelerating. This problem often happens when going uphill and can be very startling. The downshift is jolting and is by no means a normal downshift. The vehicle has been brought on multiple occasions to the dealer which the car was purchsed. The dealer has been unable to duplicate the problem when test driving. The intermittent problem has been going on for over a year.
