2018 Toyota C-HR Electrical System

Transmission problems

While driving in June 2023 I was suddenly unable to turn my steering wheel and I had issues bring the vehicle to a stop. The vehicle warning notice was "abnormal voltage steering power low". Once I was able to stop the vehicle stopped altogether. I towed the vehicle to my Toyota dealership and the description on the repair is Learn Value Reset and R&R CV Valve Lift Con. I am still having this issue which presents a safety concern as I can't steer and stop the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2018 Toyota C-HR. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, several unknown messages were displayed with several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact also stated that there was an abnormal odor coming from the vehicle. Out of precaution, the contact had the vehicle towed to his residence and replaced the battery; however, the failure persisted. The contact notified the dealer of the failure however, the dealer offered no assistance. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 39,000.

TOYOTA CH R I NOTICED HESITATION WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE ABOUT 3 DAYS PRIOR. TWO DAYS AGO THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I CALLED ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE. I WAS GIVEN A JUMP. 8 HOURS LATER I NEEDED ANOTHER JUMP. THE CAR TURNED ON AND BUT SHORTLY AFTERWARDS THE PARKING BREAK AND LIGHTS BEGAN FLASHING ON THE CONTROL PANEL. THE CAR COULD NOT BE PUSHED. IT WAS NOT ACCELERATE NOR REVERSE. CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER STATES THE BATTERY WAS NOT JUMPED CORRECTLY AND THE CONTROL PANEL MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. I ASKED FOR THE WARRANTY TO COVER THE DIAGNOSIS, BECAUSE THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE CONTROL PANEL PROTECTION TO AVOID MAJOR ISSUES. THIS CAR IS POORLY DESIGNED. IT SHOULD BE STATED ON THE BATTERY NOT JUMP THE CAR AND INFORM ME ALL THE DAMAGE THIS COULD CREATE. HOWEVER THE CAR WAS NOT JUMPED INCORRECTLY. THE DEALER SHOWED ME ACID AROUND THE BATTERY BUT NEVER SHOWED ME THE CONTROL PANEL DAMAGE. WHY IS THERE A BATTERY AND A CONTROL PANEL ISSUE ON A CAR THAT IS NEW. WHY DOES THE DIAGNOSTIC COST $280. HEADQUARTERS WAS CONTACTED. BUT NO RESOLUTION
