Hi Scotty

I have been watching your videos for a long time and enjoy them.

My sister has a 2018 Toyota CHR.

It had 78,000 km's and had to have the transmission replaced.

We looked online and there are quite a few CHR's that needed transmissions.

Is this the same CVT as in a Toyota Corolla?

Has Toyota made any changes to the CHR's transmission for 2021/2022?

Thank you for your wisdom.

Scotty, do you answer any questions yourself?

Does anyone know anything about the trans in the CHR other than it's a CVT?

Did they say what caused the failure?

That’s deeply concerning if it’s indeed a design flaw which has slipped through the cracks.

The dealer didn't tell us why the transmission failed.

Just curious. What were the symptoms before failure?

It started as a faint squealing noise at a certain speed, got worse where it was happening at most speeds.
It was covered under warranty.

Thanks! Glad they covered the cost.
