The Toyota C-HR (Japanese: トヨタ C-HR, Hepburn: Toyota Shīeichiāru) is a subcompact crossover SUV manufactured by Japanese automaker Toyota since 2016. The development of the car began in 2013, led by Toyota chief engineer Hiroyuki Koba. The C-HR is built on the same TNGA-C (GA-C) platform as the E210 series Corolla and positioned between the Yaris Cross and Corolla Cross in Toyota's crossover SUV lineup since 2020. According to Toyota, the C-HR is a mixture of hatchbacks, B-segment SUVs and compact car platform, and has been described as a coupe crossover.

Common 2018 Toyota C-hr problems

Based on the complaints from owners of the 2018 Toyota C-HR, several common problems have been reported:

  1. Broken Windshields: Owners have frequently complained about broken windshields, particularly in the first 10,000 miles of usage. This issue is attributed to certain production runs of windshield glass that were more prone to chipping and cracking with small stone impacts. Replacing the windshield can cost around $600, depending on local labor rates.
  2. Noisy Suspension: Another prevalent problem reported by owners around 25,000 miles is a noisy suspension. This issue is often caused by components becoming loose as the SUV ages. Diagnosing and repairing the noisy suspension can cost under $100, but if new parts are needed, the cost can exceed $500.
  3. Rearview Camera Freezing: Some owners have experienced the rearview camera freezing within the first 1,000 miles of driving. This issue can be resolved through software updates for the stereo system, which improve the camera system's reliability. Most dealerships offer these updates for free during regular service, while others may charge around $50.
  4. Electronic Parking Brake Recall: The 2018 Toyota C-HR has one recall related to the electronic parking brake, which can turn off and allow the vehicle to roll away. Toyota provides free software updates on affected models to prevent this issue.

These problems, although relatively minor compared to other small SUVs, have been highlighted by owners of the 2018 Toyota C-HR. Regular maintenance and prompt attention to these issues can help ensure the longevity and reliability of the vehicle.

What is the common issue with Toyota C-HR?

The 2016-2023 Toyota C-HR may not be the most exciting family SUV to drive, but it is one of the most dependable. Issues with the 12-volt battery were the most common complaint of the 15% of owners who said their car had gone wrong. Four out of five cars remained driveable, and were fixed in less than a week.

What is the transmission problem on a 2018 Toyota C-HR?

If you don't change your 2018 Toyota C-HR transmission fluid, your transmission will have broken metal shavings and distinct corrosive material spread throughout the serious components of your 2018 Toyota C-HR.

What is the disadvantage of Toyota C-HR?

Rear space

Sadly, that's not the case. In fact, the C-HR is actually pretty cramped in the back, with rear leg and head room closer to that offered by much smaller SUVs, such as the Lexus LBX and the Peugeot 2008. Head room is particularly disappointing.

  • VIN: NMTKHMBX2JR
  • Components: POWER TRAIN
  • Summary: My car would not go forward nor backwards after the transmission making crazy sounds Now I'm a disabled woman who the dealer that I financed this car from has said I have no warranty whatsoever. Alot of customers are having to replace their transmission on this year and make Toyota with odometer reading as low as 33,xxxx miles to mine which has 94,xxxx and others with lower mileage than mine Toyota or you all should do what's right by us and recall these transmissions

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-07-11
  • VIN: NMTKHMBX2JR
  • Components: POWER TRAIN
  • Summary: The car started making a whining noise in the front end around 80,000 miles. The noise became progressively worse and around 84,000 miles I took it to the dealership. They said it was a transmission failure and quoted the repair at approximately $10,000.

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-06-22
  • VIN: NMTKHMBX7JR
  • Components: POWER TRAIN
  • Summary: I've had a second CVT transmission failure. The first one happened at 85906 miles, and now my second one is at 98995 six months later. Vehicle has been dealership serviced it whole life. These transmissions have some sort of fault that needs looking into and accountability needs to be taken. Toyota claims that there are no known issues with the part, but myself and many others with the Turkey built models are having these problems. Critical parts on vehicles should not be treated as disposable, and that's Toyotas attitude on it. $9,000 replacement cost on a 20,000 car is ridiculous.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-06-18
  • VIN: NMTKHMBX9JR
  • Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
  • Summary: Transmission problem with only 100k miles
2024-06-15

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-05-16
  • VIN: NMTKHMBX9JR
  • Components: POWER TRAIN
  • Summary: Bought this vehicle brand new in 2018 from Toyota dealer and took it to all scheduled maintenance intervals at Toyota dealerships, including the 50,000 mile service at 48,000 miles in 2024. At 48,800 miles began hearing a whining noise from the engine. Took it to dealer at 48,882 miles and was informed I would need a new transmission with a quoted repair price of $8,900 USD. Search of C-HR forums and NHTSA reviews shows this to be a common and recurring problem. Dealer told me I was outside of my warranty based on the age of the vehicle. Dealer suggested I contact Toyota corporate for assistance as this is extremely low mileage for such an extensive repair. Toyota corporate only confirmed that the age of the vehicle was outside of warranty, offered zero assistance with repair costs, and indicated it would be an "out of pocket expense". This CVT is clearly an issue and could create an unsafe condition for drivers who are completely not expecting a Toyota powertrain to fail so early in its life. The fact that Toyota refuses to acknowledge, or provide assistance, is a travesty considering the reputation of the brand.

2024-05-07

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-05-02
  • VIN: NMTKHMBX1JR
  • Components: POWER TRAIN
  • Summary: 83,000 Miles. Buzzing sound coming from transmission. Diagnosed by Toyota garage and an independent garage. I was told the transmission must be replaced at a cost of $9,400. This seems to be a recurring problem, especially with the 2018 Toyota C-HR CVT transmission. Upon researching this problem, I have found many complaints about this problem in Toyota C-HR forums some consumers having the problem with their C-HR as low as 30,000 miles! This is unacceptable and I suggest all repair costs be refunded and a recall be processed. It is obvious that there is a manufacture fault with that particular transmission. Please note that the cost of this repair is a devastating financial set back to those involved. My C-HR book price is $16,000 and a rather low-milage vehicle. This repair cost is well over half the value of the vehicle and emotionally I am distraught over this imposed financial burden that is the fault of the manufacture producing faulty product.

AIR BAGS PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-04-02
  • Crash: 1
  • VIN: NMTKHMBX6JR
  • Components: AIR BAGS
  • Summary: I was driving on the highway when I hydroplaned due to bad weather and hit the cement wall head on. The airbags did not deploy. There were no lights prior to failure. My insurance said that it was surprising that the airbags did not deploy given the extensive frame damage to my vehicle. My safety was put at risk due to potentially enduring life threatening injuries if any other cars hit me. My vehicle was totaled and taken possession of by insurance.

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-04-05
  • VIN: NMTKHMBX4JR
  • Components: POWER TRAIN
  • Summary: Humming noise coming from the engine that gets louder the faster you go. Toyota needs to recall this transmission as the Toyota dealership quoted 11,000 USD to repair and they said it's a transmission issue. Car has 109k miles and this appears to be a common issue if researched online.

POWER TRAIN,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2019-08-01
  • VIN: NMTKHMBX8JR
  • Components: POWER TRAIN,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE
  • Summary: Power train failed on my 3 year old car. It could've been catastrophic if it failed on the road. The CVT transmission is a mess. It's also caused undue financial burden on every CHR owner since the power train had continued to fail uncontrollably. This car was traded in since the transmission had failed. There should be a recall on every CVT that was manufactured in 2018. Every owner and previous owner should be compensated for the loss. After market and rebuilt power trains weren't available since the car was 3 years old. Almost $10k to replace this transmission. This car was taken to a Toyota dealer who assured me that is was "cupped tires". I'm confident that they knew what the problem was. By the time the power train failure was detected, the car was out of warranty. Thanks

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-03-15
  • VIN: NMTKHMBX5JR
  • Components: POWER TRAIN
  • Summary: Transmission failure at 50,000miles. Apparently thus is a very poorly designed Transmission and many many owners of this vehicle have had their Transmission go out. TOYOTA will not admit responsibility and a class action needs filed. Toyota will not do the right thing and fix their faulty Transmission.

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-02-05
  • VIN: NMTKHMBX3JR
  • Components: POWER TRAIN
  • Summary: My wife was driving the vehicle after taking it from its service around 58,000 miles and started hearing whirring noise coming from the front of the car and after returning from an overseas trip, I looked at it and thought that the wheel bearing was going. The mileage was only 59,003 miles. So, I scheduled a diagnostic service at the Green's Toyota of Lexington dealer, paid for it and Toyota and was told me that the transmission pump was failing, at 59,235 miles, but since the car was over 5 years old, which I purchased on 11/17/2017, warranty ended even though the car did not reach 60000, and that the cost estimate was $13,000+. I took it to a Power Transmission shop for a second option, paid for another diagnostics, and they stated that the transmission bearing is failing, and the transmission needs replacements, and that the cost estimate, for a remanufactured transmission, was $8,000+. I called Toyota, submitted report, C-HR Forum chats documentation that show other owners having issues even sooner, and they stated that since the car Power Train warranty was up, they could not do anything. And now I am seeing here over 112 complaints about the same issue when Toyota only recommends, on their maintenance manual, to change the transmission oil at 60,000 miles, not even an inspection before...., and the dealer that maintains my car looked at it around mileage 58,000, did not say nothing and scheduled the next service for 63,000 with no mentioning. So now, I have a $13,000 bill to pay to replace the transmission on a car that I paid $25,000+ for, but now only worths $19,000 and Toyota is taking no responsibility for this CVT transmission issue. Now, I have to fix and trade this car because I am afraid the transmission will go again, and I no longer have a warranty. I could have been in big trouble if I had continued to drive this vehicle as when the transmission would have gone it could have been anywhere. Plus, the cost of that transmission costs almost another c

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-01-02
  • VIN: NMTKHMBX8JR
  • Components: POWER TRAIN
  • Summary: The contact owns a 2018 Toyota CH-R. The contact stated that while his daughter was driving at undisclosed speeds, an abnormal clicking noise was detected while speaking with her on the Bluetooth system. The contact stated that the noise was heard at 5 to 60 MPH. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the transmission had failed and needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and opened a case. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.
2023-12-30

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2023-12-29
  • VIN: NMTKHMBX1JR
  • Components: POWER TRAIN
  • Summary: When the driver of the vehicle is coming to a stop a loud whine is coming from the transmission area caused by the paper filter cartridge inside the transmission housing being plugged causing damage to the transmission due to no maintenance as indicated by the manufacturer. The manufacturer has indicated the transmission is bad and needs replacing after hearing it in the parking lot, but has also indicated this is a sealed system and does not need servicing... so which is it? The car industry gets to tell their customers that a wearable part does not need to be serviced any longer, but needs to be replaced when it fails from no service. The transmission has an actual paper filter cartridge inside the transmission and the only way to replace it is to remove the transmission pan, but was told this was a screen and not a filter. Since vehicle was out of warranty, the filter was ordered and replaced by removing the transmission pan and found the filter to be plugged. After replacing all parts including fluid with Toyota Genuine parts, the damage has already been done. Metal shavings were all over in the pan as captured by two magnets Toyota places in the transmission pan, yet this is a sealed system and does not need servicing only replacement after warranty goes out. Manufacturer needs to realize ALL wearable parts need servicing and let their customers know this information in the vehicle manual(s) because if these transmissions fail at highway speeds, damage, injury (including death) will be the result from a plugged non-serviceable/sealed filter. Will be splitting the plastic filter housing to inspect the filter media, but from the two openings where a portion of the media can be seen, it is completely plugged.

  • Remedy: Toyota has notified owners, and dealers will update the programming of the skid control ECU as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on November 30, 2017. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's number for this recall is H0W.

Negative 2018 Toyota C-hr car reviews

  1. Sylvester Bradtke 2024-11-20

    I have recently acquired my first new car since 2007. Although it was advertised to get 27-31 MPG, I have found that it only gets 14-17 MPG. The acceleration is slow and the braking is noisy and grindy. Additionally, the ride could be smoother. However, after test driving the car and picking up another of the same model a few days later, I am confident in my decision to lease this vehicle for the time being.

  2. Melvina Kozey 2024-11-17

    Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read my review. Unfortunately, I have had some issues with my car's transmission. Despite maintaining it well with the Toyota care package, it failed suddenly at 76,000 miles. The dealership has quoted me $9500 to replace it, which is quite expensive. I am disappointed that this has happened and I am currently exploring my options. Thank you for your attention.

  3. Geovany Morissette 2024-11-01

    The bearing in my transmission went out at 63K miles. Unfortunately, Toyota would not warranty the part as it was 3K miles over the 60K mile warranty. It seems that this is a common transmission issue with the C-HR that Toyota has yet to address. Before purchasing a C-HR, it may be worth doing some research.

  4. Donato Yundt 2024-10-23

    This car is definitely a looker and a great value for the money! It's the perfect size for me and my occasional passengers, as well as for carrying larger items. It has a sporty yet classy vibe, which I love. While it may not have all the latest features of some other cars, it's unique and stands out from the crowd. However, I do wish the gas mileage was better and that it had a bit more power. If it had the same specs as the Camry or Honda Accord, I would definitely make this my top choice!

  5. Rigoberto Walsh 2024-10-07

    The transmission failed in my Toyota CH-R at 78k miles due to an internal issue. Upon researching, I discovered that many Toyota customers have experienced the same problem. Although some were fortunate enough to have it happen during the warranty period, many faced the same issues as I did. The mechanic quoted me $8,900 for the replacement and suggested that I contact Toyota to discuss the issue as it was a defect within the transmission. Despite multiple calls, Toyota refused to take any responsibility as the car was out of warranty. However, the certified Toyota mechanic confirmed that this is a known issue with the CH-R's transmission and recommended a new transmission replacement. Although the cost is high, it is the best solution to avoid future problems. It is unfortunate that Toyota is not taking accountability for this issue, but I am confident in my decision to replace the transmission. I advise caution when considering purchasing a Toyota CH-R. Despite my negative experience, I remain confident in Toyota's overall quality and will continue to consider their vehicles in the future.

Positive 2018 Toyota C-hr car reviews

  1. Isadore Koss 2024-11-25

    This thing caught my eye and has not failed to impress. All the extras have made this the most fun vehicle I have ever had. I believe that reviewers who say it has problems accelerating haven't put the car in sport mode. In sport mode, it flies. The Toyota safety package is what sold me on this though. The other comparable crossover SUVs don't offer nearly what Toyota has standard here.

  2. Declan Heidenreich 2024-11-15

    Great car! I love the nice looks. It would be even better with a sunroof and 4-wheel drive, but overall it's very good.

  3. Grant Littel 2024-10-13

    I purchased a used XLE Premium about 2 weeks ago and I absolutely love it! Despite reading some discouraging reviews, I have had no issues getting up to speed and merging into busy traffic on my daily commute. While my previous car had a faster V6 engine, I actually prefer this car due to its impressive safety features, particularly the blind spot monitoring. It handles beautifully and is both fun and comfortable to drive. The only downside is that it can be a bit noisy on the highway.

  4. Lemuel Dooley 2024-10-08

    Lots of space! The back seats can go down for even more storage. Plus, it handles great when driving.

  5. Reinhold Morar 2024-10-03

    I have owned several Toyota models in the past, including three Corollas, two Prius Cs, and a Prius. As a result, I have come to expect excellent quality, dependability, and mileage from Toyota. The C-HR is a great-looking sub-compact SUV that performs relatively well in Sport Mode. It comes with standard safety features such as Lane Departure Assist/Accident Prevention, Pre-Collision Avoidance, and Emergency Braking Assist. Additionally, it offers standard creature comforts such as an Auto-Dimming Rear-View Mirror, 18” Alloy Wheels, a Leather-Wrapped Steering Wheel, and Soft-Touch Interior Materials. However, I find it odd that the car does not offer satellite radio or navigation. Personally, I prefer using my portable Garmin to any factory-installed navigation system. There are two things about my C-HR that are not consistent with what I’ve come to expect from Toyota. Although I understand that there may be some issues with the first year of production of any vehicle, I did experience an unlikely event of a repair with just 1100 miles on the car. There was a banging noise when I turned on the AC, and apparently, a screw had come loose. The service department replaced the fan motor and housing, and the repair was covered by the factory warranty. Other than that, I have noticed that it takes very delicate feathering of the gas pedal to achieve decent gas mileage. The best I have averaged is 37 MPG on a trip to the vet with my kitty, when I was going out of my way to be as gentle as possible. The worst I have averaged is 18 MPG, which is unacceptable for a four-cylinder Toyota in 2018. I am aware that mileage improves after the first 1500 miles, even more so after the first 15000, but 18 MPG is for V8s. Overall, the C-HR is a great-looking, safe, and fun sub-compact SUV. Although it is not the best Toyota I have ever had, I am still under 1600 miles, so we will see.
