Toyota special service campaign jsd. Understand that toyota has notified dealers there is a know defect with the cvt transmission. However, as an owner i have not been notified. Transmission does not operate smoothly when driving. Toyota is attempting to correct with a software update, but they are not actually disassembling the cvt transmission to check for problems\unnecessary wear. This needs to be a recall, so…

This has happened on three occasions and i took it to the dealership to get it checked and they said they could not replicate it. Transmission has not been shifting correctly and now the transmission is making a strange grinding noise. This corolla has a…

While driving down a downgrade with the cruise control engaged and set to 65mph, the cvt transmission seemed to downshift, the rpm's increased and the vehicle accelerated to well over the speed limit. It felt like i was losing control. I had to activate the brakes to disengage the cruise control in order to reduce my speed to below the posted speed limit. I tried it again on another downgrade and the same situation…

The first time it happened i had the cruise control on and was traveling to work at 05:15, and i came to an overpass and on the way down the normal overpass over a cross street, i heard the engine rev and i looked at the tach, and it was at 5000 rpm. I was startled. The same thing happened at the next overpass. This time it was 4000 rpm almost at the bottom of this…

Airbags deployed and my passenger and i had to crawl out of the rear passenger door to escape the vehicle. We are lucky to be alive…

The transmission (cvt) doesn't respond when accelerating leaving a stop sign causing a delay in moving and we fear will one day cause an accident as it won't get out of the way of other traffic. It also doesn't shift correctly (it revs too high before it shifting) even though it is an automatic. To us it seems like a hazard to us and others on the road. Toyota maintenance says it is normal, but this is ongoing since…

While using cruise control on fairly level roadway, (rural road) at a speed of 45 mph, the rpm were about 1500, but increased suddenly to about 4500 rpm. After awhile the rpm would drop back down to normal for the speed situation. This occurs also at highway speed of 60 mph in our area. This occurrence has happened many times. Have returned to dealer twice now. Problem was observed by service manager and local…

Shifting of transmission in vehicle hesitates and/or is inconsistent upon sudden acceleration or deceleration, making it difficult for the driver to determine the acceleration of the vehicle versus other cars on a busy street. There have been numerous instances in which the car is not shifting appropriately and i am unable to accurately judge entering traffic from a residential neighborhood onto a busy intersection…
