2019 Toyota Corolla Power Train

Clutch stopped working while driving. Car has 61,000 miles.

rattle in transmission. Car hesitates to accelerate randomly leading to unpredictable acceleration sometimes. Transmission is failing.

All 2019-2022 Toyota Corolla 6 Speed Manual Transmission cars are affected. The slave cylinder is a defective part that fails prematurely anywhere between the 20,000-70,000 mile range. The slave cylinder on this car is made out of plastic and is located inside of the transmission, when the slave cylinder fails, it leaks brake fluid all over causing the car to lock into gear and not be able to shift which is a major safety risk when there is no signs of failure. My car locked up in the middle of a busy highway and had to be pushed off the side of the road. Not only is this a safety risk, but since the part is located inside of the transmission, which is not normal, it leaks brake fluid all over the clutch and flywheel, which will all need replacement. The dealership quotes between 4-5 thousand dollars to repair, and is not covered under warranty. Toyota knows that this part is a defective part because the new models received an updated slave cylinder made out of metal, rather than plastic, but no cars have been recalled. The car was towed to my local dealership and it is currently being worked on. The incident was reported to Toyota Corporate and a case was opened to investigate this issue. Every single model made between those years are effected and has caused thousands of people to be left with an expensive repair that is unavoidable.

Manual transmission intermittent failure to/rough to engage first gear and reverse. Clutch slave cylinder high rate of failure/total failure of manual transmission. Transmission incidents happen at least once per day.

Slave cylinder failure. 90,000 miles. Multiple complaints about the issue.

The contact owns a 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback. The contact stated that while approaching a stop light, the contact depressed the brake pedal and the clutch pedal; however, while attempting to release the clutch pedal, the clutch pedal lowered to the floorboard independently. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact coasted to the side of the road, maneuvered the gear shifter into second gear, and drove the vehicle to the residence without the proper use of the clutch. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware. The failure mileage was 80,000. 04/15/2025: The contact wanted add to the complaint the vehicle had been taken two independent mechanics and the vehicle was diagnosed with slave cylinder failure. The vehicle had been repaired.

premature failure of clutch components: throwout bearing, clutch slave cylinder (which doubles as master brake cylinder). This type of failure, particularly when vehicle is in motion, will prevent the ability to change gears, as well as potential for brake failure if loss of fluid is great enough. This is a clear and obvious road hazard and the failure occurs within or just outside of factory warranty period and Toyota corp has been unwilling to pay for repairs on this particular failure. This system will fail without warning and there's no indication as to when this part will fail

The transmission slave cylinder on this vehicle leaks and causes multiple issues with the transmission. it is a known issue among all manual transmission owners and resulting on average 4000 dollar repair.

No warning lamps, and no accident yet; however, I believe if I continue driving it without repair, it is a safety risk. The sound I can hear coming from CVT torque converter, impeller blades is getting louder the more I drive them vehicle. This was confirmed by a transmission service center (see photo) who identified a toyota recall J17/J07 (NHTSA recall campaign 18V901000), which lists the 2019 Toyota Corolla hatchback with the same CVT as my vehicle. When I contacted Toyota (see screenshot), I was told I would be responsible for the repair because there's no recall associated with my vehicle VIN pertaining to CVT torque converter.

Clutch throwout bearing went out at 69,000. Clutch pedal began getting stuck half way through pedal travel, then got stuck to floor. Lost all clutch operation.

The clutch slave cylinder started leaking fluid. Luckily I noticed this issue before the level was too low. This is especially dangerous as this fluid is shared with the brake system so a loss of too much fluid could cause both a loss of clutch control and a loss of brakes. The vehicle was inspected by an independent mechanic and the issue was found. This issue is also very commonly reported on forums about the 2019 corolla hatchback with a manual transmission.

Transmission is in sport mode stopped at red light loud snapping sound and car lunged forward. Revs up with the transmission slipping with out forward movement acceleration after switching to drive mode it runs normally. Drove home didn't want to push my luck out on the road 38,683 miles on the vehicle

Transmission failed at 106000 miles

The bypass coolant valve has failed. Car displays message stating engine maintenance required but no other warning signs. Diagnostic test proved that it’s the bypass coolant valves. Upon further research this seems to be a frequent problem on the 2019 to 2022 Toyotas.

Clutch/transmission going out. Would not go into gear while driving ! Turned car off then started it up again and regained function. Replaced entire clutch components back in July of 2022. Been driving manual transmission vehicles for over 20 years and never had an issue with clutch or transmission. Plenty of documentation of this issue on Toyota forum sites .

Driving up a slight grade, vehicle shuddered and then felt like it popped out of gear. Would not engage in any gear and now I am unable the shift into park or any other gear

I purchased my 2019 corolla hatch manual new. Before even 9000 miles I started having transmission issues. I could not shift into first when the car was cold. It was like hitting a wall. I had to cycle through all the other gears before it would go back into first. I took it to Toyota. They were unable to replicate the issue. It happened so sporadically I asked the technician what would happen if I had transmission issues in the future since they were unable to witness the problem. He assured me that the issues were documented, and it would not be a problem at all. Now at 30000 I am having serious issues. The clutch is engaging late, it is chattering in first and second and there are metallic fragments in my transmission fluid. The entire transmission and clutch assembly is going to have to be replaced. Toyota is stating that it will probably not be covered by my warranty because the clutch is a wear item. I've driven a manual for decades. I've put over 100000 miles on a Toyota clutch I previously owned that still worked perfectly when I sold it. This issue is not a driver caused issue. The 2019 is notorious for transmission and clutch issues if you search any kind of forums. The automatic transmission was recalled; however, the manual owners are just up creek without a paddle because Toyota can claim it's all a wear issue caused by the driver. I have not received a decision from the warranty department yet, but I am pretty sure it is not going to be covered by the warranty. A car should not have transmission/clutch issues prior to 9000 miles and be at the owner's expense especially if it is documented.

Bought this vehicle with 30k one week after the transmission went off and the dealer have to replace completely the transmission, almost two years later the transmission went bad again, now I don’t have any guarantee but two transmission in two year?

My car went into Limp mode at high way speeds. the transmission is faulty. it feels like a misfire. the transmission does not shit out of 1st.

Dirivjg when all of a sudden the vehicle slows down and a light turns on, pressure solinoid Wher out aswell as the sensor. Had to replace the transmisson, not the only one with this issue

The contact owns a 2019 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would not properly accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. The contact stated that a torque converter message was displayed. Additionally, while driving the vehicle independently accelerated. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 48,992.

The car has been hard to shift manual transmission since new. Sometimes will not go into gear, so you have to skip that gear. Now it started making a noise and has no power. It has 55k miles, dealership says it needs a new flywheel, throw-out bearing and clutch. They claim that is not covered under the 60,000 mile warranty. It's been at the dealership previously, at least 2 times for the shifting problem before. Those times dealership dismissed it as normal operation and didn't find any shifting problem.

Transmission came apart internally The 2019 hatchback Corolla's were covered under the warranty but the Sedan's weren't but they have the same engine and transmission in it . Took the car to Toyota for inspection but they wouldn't cover under the warranty.

I have been losing power on my 2019 Toyota corolla hatchback since I purchased this new vehicle I have taken it to the dealer many times and they have been unable to fix it, lately in the past 6 months I have been getting a sign that only stays on for a few seconds when I lose power and I have been unable to read it so I purchased a dash camera and I mounted it in front of the vehicle screen and today I was able to capture and it said Accelerator and Brake Pedals Pressed Simultaneously. This is incorrect I only drive with one foot; I know my vehicle is now out of warranty but I have had this same problem since I purchased the vehicle. Please help I have written to toyota many times for the same problem this time I have proof of what it is doing and I am 100 percent sure I am not driving with 2 feet, this is a safety incident since the vehicle looses power

FOR THE MANUAL VERSION OF THE CAR THE FIFTH GEAR MOVES A LOT AND HAS A LOT OF PLAY. WHEN DRIVING IN FIFTH GEAR THE SHIFTER MOVES A LOT BUT NOT IN ANY OTHER GEAR. WHEN THE SHIFTER IS IN FIFTH GEAR IT HAS A LOT OF SIDE TO SIDE PLAY THAT IS NOT PRESENT IN THE OTHER GEARS.
