Consumer Description

The transmission and torque converter both failed one morning. As soon as I️ realized I️ had a problem I️ took it to the mechanic. My car is available for inspection. I️ was lucky is happened while not driving. The issue has been confirmed by the mechanic as the problem and the NHTSA comments from others show it is a reoccurring problem with 2018 CHR Toyotas. The car has not been inspected by police or insurance representative. My car had a oil change a month prior at same mechanic and no lights or issues.
