Consumer Description

Transmission went out more than once, the first time within warranty only a few years after the vehicle was on the market two years after getting it replaced it was no longer within warranty and they are refusing to repair it. I would have to pay $1200 if you look at the Toyota forum there are thousands and thousands and thousands of people with 2018 CHR who are having the same exact problem. The fact that the Corolla CVT engines are being recalled and other vehicles are being recalled except for the CHR is ridiculous. Please look into
