Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When driving there after using the cruise control there is a warning about the epb malfunction. It appears certain ch-r models have been recalled for this, but my VIN does not appear to be one recalled.”
NHTSA complaint #11408237, filed 2021-04, 5 miles“The forward collision warning goes off and automatically slams the breaks, when nothing is in front of it. It does this on highways as well. This could cause accidents. There is been several complaints about the CVT transmission. If they won't recall it, they should have a lifetime warranty. Toyota transmissions used to last. I cannot afford to get a whole new transmission, so I have to sell it to a dealership.”
NHTSA complaint #11672986, filed 2025-07“My transmission failed and I took it to the dealership. They recommended I replace the transmission that would cost $11,000. I have 120k miles driven in my car and regular get it maintenance. After looking online I saw that I was not alone with the Ch-r model. It is ridiculous that a repair would cost half of a brand new car. This is very anti consumer behaviors coercing car owners to buy new cars since repairing them is so expensive.”
NHTSA complaint #11699085, filed 2025-11“The pre-collision system malfunction warning appeared on my dash. It turned off the pre-collision warning, cruise control and lane assist alerts. I took it to the dealer for diagnostics and they told me it was mice on the wiring harness. The picture they provided did not show any bite marks.”
NHTSA complaint #11458710, filed 2022-03“My EPB malfunction light goes off for no reason and kicks my cruise control off . My transmission is now making a crazy noise. Has happened MULTIPLE times since ownership.”
