While driving down a downgrade with the cruise control engaged and set to 65mph, the cvt transmission downshifts, the rpms increased and the vehicle accelerated to well over the speed limit. it felt like i was losing control. i had to activate the brakes to disengage the cruise control in order to reduce my speed to below the posted speed limit. i tried it again on another downgrade and the same situation was duplicated. the car will also engage rpms when you are downgrading or upgrading in cruise control i did not take the car into a dealer since the issue has been reported to dealerships with a solution to this problem.
I have owned my car just under a year. i have had continuous issues with the transmission randomly down shifting at stops and now i get a check engine light so i pull into my closest auto parts store since it's sunday. boom 17 codes for emission control failure. this is ridiculous less than a year and im already showing transmission failure and emission control issues. this is not a good sign for future years to come. there was a recall earlier this year involving the transmission and now its suddenly disappeared. i find it strange especially since toyota keeps downplaying everything every time i go in.
Was driving in middle lane of interstate 10 when vehicle lost power. car would not accelerate. car coasted for approx. 5 minutes. had to put on emergency flasher, put car in park to restart engine. cars coming up behind me doing 75/80/85 miles per hour and had to swerve immediately to keep from hitting my vehicle. i had a friend in passenger seat and we were both scared for our lives. to this day, i am afraid to drive on interstate or any other busy highway because toyota said they could not find any problem.
Check engine light is on. throws 5 codes all emissions and fuel errors. toyota dealership had it for a full day and can not figure out why/cause. needs for longer. 8000 miles on car.
Car speeds up at stop or low speeds on highway and streets stop and go traffic
