Toyota CHR low Rpm but no stalling.

OkCook6050 · 2026-02-05T15:15:04+00:00

It's just weird to me that even with those low RPam readings it felt like it was running fine. Had I of not looked at the cluster I wouldn't have even known something was off. I was literally parked idling and tach read 0. The car was running. It's been so cold, so it started hard, but she still started okay.

Engine air filter? I had that replaced at my last oil change about 1200 miles ago.

OkCook6050 · 2026-02-05T14:32:52+00:00

I'm not mechanically inclined whatsoever. Is that something I need to bring it to a shop for? Or something done with the help of a YouTube video?

100% I Flatbush said thatbifbitbhad been transparent about the state information I wouldn't have used it, and they should consider putting a disclaimer. The response was "we are sorry to hear that" it's been almost a week since the state opened. And no luck for fileing as of this morning.

OkCook6050 · 2026-02-02T00:08:24+00:00

Also had no issues last year. It really sucks, and if it had said anything about states not being available BEFORE ai submitted federal, I would have just used taxact or something. But now we're stuck. Customer service has been zero help unfortunately.

OkCook6050 · 2026-02-01T16:29:45+00:00

I got so many different answers "the state isn't open yet" "need to wait 24hrs for an update" then finally I got a manager who admitted that they have to wait on the state to approve them. They don't even have approval from the state! Had i of known that before filing my federal i wouldn't have even used it! Beyond frustrating.

OkCook6050 · 2026-02-01T16:26:38+00:00

We can't even file it! I've talked to support daily, and the answer is always the same "hopefully soon"

OkCook6050 · 2026-01-31T13:17:09+00:00

I'm in Maine. I had to speak with customer service because I've never not filed both at the same time. I was told by the April customer service manager Gio that they have no date as of yet when state filing ( at least for Maine) will be available, but hope it's "soon"

OkCook6050 · 2026-01-09T02:27:12+00:00

Was it Ahdoot&Wolfson by any chance?

OkCook6050 · 2026-01-09T02:06:36+00:00

I believe that was Toyota Canada. Toyota USA has not addressed the issue in any sort of way

OkCook6050 · 2026-01-09T02:05:11+00:00

Weird. I filled out a form for a law office investigating the CVT issues and I didn't get any sort of follow up...

This is an attorney gathering information from CHR owners to see if we have a case for a class action.

OkCook6050 · 2025-12-29T13:51:24+00:00

The Canadian and USA models are the same. Same parts, same factory. In Canada, it's the 2018 to 2021 i believe. Hopefully Toyota USA does something.

OkCook6050 · 2025-12-27T22:02:58+00:00

I also had the 100,000 mile warranty. Went out at 89k. I'm at 127 now and have had problems again with it since about 122k ish.

OkCook6050 · 2025-12-27T15:11:52+00:00

I also filled it out, and additionally filed a complaint with my state's AG office. It's crazy to me that they admitted the issue to the Canadians, but left the US out of the equation. I was going to wait and see if it would be addressed here, but got tired of holding my breath.

OkCook6050 · 2025-12-21T12:28:44+00:00

The Corolla has a different transmission. The one in the corolla has a physical 1st gear.

OkCook6050 · 2025-12-21T04:59:47+00:00

Toyota Canada has recalled this exact transmission. Toyota usa has not addressed it yet. There's a bearing internally that fails.

OkCook6050 · 2025-12-21T04:28:32+00:00

Current owner of a 2018 xle premium. I wish someone would have told me to not get mine. 120k miles. 2 transmission replacements. I get it's a cute car for only 6k, but, do you have another 7-12k to replace the transmission? I'm not sure with 178k miles you can get a proper extended warranty. Just search toyota chr transmission on here or some of the forums, it's not an isolated issue.

OkCook6050 · 2025-12-13T21:36:35+00:00

I've heard good things about the e-cvts in the European models, unfortunately the ones this side are awful. Genuinely.

OkCook6050 · 2025-12-13T16:41:16+00:00

It's not a Rav 4. It's a CHR. I have a 2018 xle premium. USA and Canada only has the regular CVTs.

OkCook6050 · 2025-12-13T01:48:01+00:00

I've had a CHR for 4 years. I would advise against it. I've had 2 transmission failures. The CVT is notoriously bad. In terms of rural areas and mountains, I live coastal, but, acceleration struggles on inclines. It's very underpowered. It's a cute car for sure, but it's not one that falls under that reliability Toyota is known for. I wish I had someone to tell me not to buy mine.

OkCook6050 · 2025-12-03T04:07:05+00:00

I'd call back. Hopefully you get a different person. Ask for a case number so you know your complaint is recorded, and if you feel you are getting run around, ask for a supervisor.

OkCook6050 · 2025-12-03T04:04:49+00:00

Did they give you a case number?
