2014 COROLLA L WITH 4SP AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING AROUND 50-55MPH ON THE FREEWAY AND I TRY TO SPEED UP, THE TRANSMISSION WILL BANG HARD WHEN DOWNSHIFTING FROM 4TH TO 3RD GEAR. THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF A DELAY WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR WHICH WAS A MONTH AGO. I TOOK THE COROLLA BACK TO MAGIC TOYOTA IN EDMONDS, WA AND THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENED A DAY AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR ON 08/01/2020 AND IT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY DAY.. THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY AFTER I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY BUT THEN IT RETURNED LAST WEEK. WHAT'S UNSAFE ABOUT THIS CONDITION IS THE TRANSMISSION IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO BREAK AND IT WILL HAPPEN WHEN I'M ON THE FREEWAY. THIS ISN'T A LIGHT JERK BUT A FULL ON SLEDGE HAMMER SMACK THAT HAPPENS WHEN THE TRANSMISSION HAS A HARD TIME DOWNSHIFTING FROM 4TH TO 3RD. SO IF THE TRANSMISSION BREAKS WHILE I'M DRIVING ON I-405 THEN IT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A REAR-ENDING COLLISION.

WHEN I PUT MY CRUISE CONTROL AT 65 AT HIGHWAY AND WHEN I AM GOING DOWNHILL THE REVS GO UP TO 4000 RPM WHICH S TOO HIGH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

PURCHASED CAR ON 2014 ON 02/21/2018, 4 YEARS LATER THE CAR SLOWS DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I PULL OVER TO THE SIDE MEDIAN AND TOW THE CAR TO TOYOTA DEALER. THEY EXPLAINED THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED IT WILL NEED A NEW ONE FOR 6K OR REBUILT FOR 3K. HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN TO A 4 YEAR OLD TOYOTA .

DRIVING AT 30 MPH, CAR ON ITS OWN DOWNSHIFTS TO LOW GEAR WHILE IN DRIVE MODE. HAPPENED 2 TIMES IN HEAVY AFTERNOON DRIVE TRAFFIC ON SIDE ROADS. TRANSMISSION IS JERKY UP HILLS. DOESN'T HAPPEN AT FREEWAY SPEEDS, BUT CAME TO A STOP OFF THE FREEWAY, AND THEN COULDN'T GET IT OUT OF LOW GEAR. BECAUSE I CAN'T TRAVEL AS FAST AND TRAFFIC BEHIND ME, CAUSES AN ENORMOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. DEALER SAYS COMPUTER SAYS NOTHING WRONG. COROLLA HAS FEWER THAN 69,000 MILES ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE INCLINES, THE VEHICLE WOULD FAIL TO ACCELERATE AND ROLLED BACKWARD. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD DESIGNED AND THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

REGARDING A 2014 TOYOTA COROLLA S WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION: THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 24,000 MILES AND THE CLUTCH WAS WORN OFF SUBSTANTIALLY. I HAVE OVER 30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE DRIVING VEHICLES WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS (USED AND NEW) AND I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE LEASE, I NOTICED THAT THE CLUTCH PEDAL SAT HIGHER THAN I AM USED TO. MOREOVER, THE TRANSMISSION KICKED A BIT IF I RELEASED THE CLUTCH AT THE SPEED THAT I AM USED TO. I INFORMED THIS TO THE TECHNICIAN'S AT THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY SAID THAT THESE BEHAVIORS WERE BY DESIGN AND THAT THE CLUTCH COULD NOT BE ADJUSTED BECAUSE IT IS A HYDRAULIC SYSTEM. AGAIN, THIS EVENT IS VERY STRANGE AND BASED ON MY PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE WITH NUMEROUS MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES, I AM LEAD TO CONCLUDE THAT THE CLUTCH SYSTEM FOR THIS VEHICLE IS POORLY DESIGNED/MANUFACTURED/ASSEMBLED. *TR

A WHISTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION I TOOK THE CAR IN AND THE DEALER TOLD ME THE IT WAS THE TRANS. SO THEY CHANGE THE TRANS. WITH A NEW AND THE SAME THING THE DEALER TOLD ME THE TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FIVE TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND STILL TO THIS DAY NO FIX FOR IT. THE WHISTLING SOUND STARTS IN ANY GEAR AND IS VERY LOUD AND THIS IS A (NEW CAR). THIS IS A 2014 TOYOTA COROLLA SOUNDING LIKE THIS. I'M AFRAID THAT THE TRANS. MAY STOP PULLING WHILE I'M DRIVING IN TRAFFIC WHICH COULD CAUSE AND ACCIDENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE ENGINE ROARED ABNORMALLY LOUD. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE ENGINE RPMS SUDDENLY INCREASED TO APPROXIMATELY 4000 AND WOULD NOT DECREASE UNTIL AFTER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND AFTER THREE MINUTES, THE ENGINE RPMS DECREASED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3300.

CVT TRANSMISSION MAKING ERRATIC RATIO CORRECTIONS WHEN CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN AT LOW SPEED WHICH MADE THE CAR LITERALLY JUMP AT SOME SPEEDS (0-30 MPH) MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE FOR IN EX. A TRAFFIC JAM (STOP AND GO) AND LOOSE POWER WHEN CLIMBING FOR IN EX. PARKING PLACES THAT HAD RAMPS (0-5 MPH) DUE TO ERRATIC UPSHIFT RATIO CORRECTIONS THAT FORCES PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO BE ABLE TO KEEP THE CAR CLIMBING THE RAMPS CAUSING ERRATIC JUMPS/SPEEDS/PULLS AND SOMETIMES THE ENGINE TO BACKFIRE WHEN CLIMBING. CAR ALSO HAD NOTICEABLE JUMPS WHEN BRAKING TO A FULL STOP CONDITION FROM ANY SPEED. TESTED BY DEALERSHIP, DIAGNOSED AND REPLACED THE CVT TRANSMISSION WITH A REMANUFACTURED UNIT, GOT IT BACK AFTER 4 DAYS. RIGHT AFTER DRIVING IT OUT OF THE DEALER WHO SUPPOSEDLY TOOK CARE OF THE 5K MILES MAINTENANCE AS WELL, MAINTENANCE REQUIRED SOON INDICATOR STARTED TO LIGHT EVERY TIME THE CAR IS STARTED. THIS CONDITION COULD INCREASE THE CHANCE OF AN ACCIDENT WHEN DRIVEN UNDER THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES DUE TO ERRATIC/UNEXPECTED SPEED VARIATIONS. TRAC OFF & CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BARELY FOR A DAY EVEN THOUGH THE MALFUNCTION WAS PRESENT AND WERE OFF WHEN THE CAR WAS LEFT FOR THE REPAIR IN THE DEALER, EVEN THOUGH THE CONDITION STARTED AT LEAST 10 DAYS BEFORE AS AN INTERMITTENT SITUATION, GETTING WORSE AT DAYS, NOT PRESENT DURING NORMAL TO HARD ACCELERATION BUT HAD TO BE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT DUE TO WORSENING OF THE DRIVABILITY, BUT THE GAUGES NEVER LIGHTED UP, BUT FOR A WHILE, THE DAY BEFORE IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHICH MAY INDICATE THAT DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM THE ON BOAD DIAGNOSTICS SYSTEMS MAY NOT ALERT A DRIVER OF THE MALFUNCTION, EVEN THOUGH IS PRESENT, WHICH MAY BE CAUSING THOSE CARS BEING DRIVEN BY UNEXPERIENCED OWNERS/DRIVERS WITH THAT FAULT BEING PRESENT INCREASING CHANCES OF HAVING A ACCIDENT, FORTUNATELY AT LOW SPEEDS. *TR
