NHTSA Complaint #11311679 — 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA

ABOUT A YEAR AFTER HAVING MY NEW CAR. IT STARTING SHIFTING HARD OUT OF GEAR WHEN I TOOK IT TO GET MAINTANCE THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. WHEN THE MAINTANCE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC SHOP. AND THEY SAID IT MIGHT BE A COMPUTER RELATED. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD DOBA TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE SO I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA TO HAVE THE FLUID CHANGE TO SEE IF THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM BUT IT DIDNT HERE RECENTLY LIKE 5 MONTHS AGO IT STARTED TO SHIFT REALLY BAD. AND WOULD KICK BACK LIKE IF IT WAS GOING TO SPEED BUT IT DOESNT MOVE ANY FASTER WONT LET ME GO PASS THE SPEED LIMIT OF 40 WHEN IN REGULAR DRIVE IT RPMS WILL GO UPP REALLY HIGH EVERY TIME IT KICKS BACK. ITS GOTTEN SO BAD I CANT DRIVE IT FAR PLACES CAUSE IT ONLY DRIVES SMOOTH IN 3RD. GEAR I CANT DRIVE IT ON HIGHWAYS CAUSE IT WONT GO UP TO THE SPEED LIMIT IN THE CITY IT RPMS TO HIGH AND THE CAR HAS A JERKY FEELING. I WAS TOLD TOYOTAS LAST A LONG TIME THATS WHY I WENT WITH TOYOTA CAUSE I NEEDED A RELIABLE CAR. BUT EVERYONE I SPOKE WITH HAS TOLD ME IT DOESNT SOUND RIGHT FOR A TOYOTAS TRANSMISION TO GO OUT AT 130000 MIOES THAT THEY ALWAYS LAST AT LEAST 300000 TO 500000 MILES SO I FEEL LIKE IT SHOULD BE RECALLED
