2018 Toyota Corolla Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“Car recently is not shifting properly. Drives at high rpms and if I accelerate too quickly say I get up to 80 MPH on highway car won't shift into next gear the rpms suddenly drop all the way down to under 1000 and quits accelerating until it jumps back into gear. Have to let foot off the gas for it to shift and cruise control has been not functioning properly either.”

“It has been multiple times where I am sitting at a red light and the car surges forward unexpectedly. It feels as if someone just rear-ended me. Once this happens and you press on the accelerator it takes longer time for the car to come to speed. It's as if the engine just bogs up for a couple second.”

“My 2018 Toyota Corolla has problems with acceleration and a very large noise in the front bar that guides the wheels. It also accelerates by itself, which is why I have had to change the brakes many times. It also shakes a lot at the bottom”
