2016 toyota corolla, 80,000 miles. i'm driving up a hill towards the freeway and my car slows and comes to a stop. i try to turn the car on and it won't turn on. get it towed to a mechanic and they say the transmission failed and it'll be $8,000 to repair. this transmission failure came out of the blue and my car isn't even covered for it because my warranty expired at 75,000 miles. contacted toyota usa and they said my car isn't covered under the cvt recall of certain 2014-2017 corollas so i'm left with this mysterious transmission defect which put me in a dangerous situation as i was trying to head onto the freeway!

Vehicle has a very hard shift out of launch "first gear" when low on fuel or the engine is cold. dealership (sheehy toyota in fredericksburg va) and could experience the same feeling on light to moderate acceleration. i informed the dealership that the feeling they were experiencing is minor compared to what it usually feels like when driving. they experienced the same thing when driving another 2020 corolla off the lot with light to moderate acceleration. then a day later they drove another 20202 corolla supposedly for another 30 minutes and could not duplicate the hard shift and noted that when driving both the customers car and a new car the shift feeling varied from time to time so there was nothing they would do. they also said they contacted the engineers at toyota who said that this hard shift feeling was normal. looks like toyota is back at it with just deny everything and hope the problem goes away. very unhappy with my experience especially with how toyota has handled this so far. i will not go away until they fix this problem.

The issue started with the battery terminals growing a lot of corrosion. had to be cleaned off and sprayed with cleaner and lubricant every couple of months. then as i turn the key in the ignition, the car will sputter before starting. when the car is on, the steering wheel is stiff and immovable for the first minute or so. i can't turn the wheel. it loosens up as you drive. it will randomly get a bit stiff when driving on the highway. typical speeds of 45mph or faster.
