- Confirm every warning light clears at startup (none should stay on).

NHTSA ODI #11734414POWER TRAIN
My transmission went out on my 2021 C-HR. The problem is, Toyota continued making and selling the car after they knew there was an issue. The 2018 and 19 models had transmission recalls, but they failed to fix the issue and continued to let others purchase a vehicle that was going to fail.
NHTSA ODI #11722990POWER TRAIN
I was told that the bearing was going out in the transmission. Toyota is charging $11,000 to replace it. Seems to be a common occurrence amongst these vehicles.
NHTSA ODI #11719018POWER TRAIN
