Toyota said there was nothing they could do….. I had to pay $14,000 for a new cvt.
Before and after
I—a woman…. Dropped the pan… cleaned it and changed filter, drained and filled 1/3 times. I will continue to do 2 more drain and fills. Then add XADO EX120 for repair and protection.
Went from UNDRIVABLE to RUNNING SMOOTHLY!
Has anyone else noticed excessive headlight bounce/shake at night on the new 2026 Subaru Uncharted or Toyota C-HR?
After driving mine the night I purchased it, I started noticing that the LED headlights visibly oscillate after bumps instead of stabilizing immediately with the vehicle. Because the projector cutoff is so sharp, it creates a very noticeable bouncing/flickering effect at night that can honestly become distracting while driving.
At first I thought maybe something was loose on my vehicle specifically, but after testing other Uncharted models and seeing similar reports from Uncharted & C-HR owners, this seems more like a platform-wide characteristic rather than an isolated issue.
You can even reproduce it while parked by tapping (simulating a bump on the road) near the front bumper/headlight area while facing a wall or garage door and watching how much the beam pattern continues to shake. Please Give this a try to see if you notice it, once you do, you can’t un-notice it.
I understand some headlight movement is normal with suspension travel, but this feels excessive for a brand new vehicle and noticeably impacts nighttime driving comfort/confidence for me.
I ended up filing an NHTSA complaint so the concern is at least documented and visible if others are experiencing the same thing as well:

Curious how many others have noticed this and whether anyone has received additional feedback from Subaru/Toyota beyond “operating as designed.”
thank you u/ZimnyKefir and u/DrJohnnyBlue for the discussion about the plug I didn't know how to remove - in the end, I've trusted the beard of DrJohnnyBlue, grabbed my soldering iron, and did a bit of an invasive install after all :) the tailgate can be opened and closed from inside the car - there's an additional button installed in the empty slot on the left side of the steering wheel, and also as in the video: a regular button on the trunk, the original key fob, and an additional button installed instead of the handle. now I just need to install the kicker under the car so the gate opens hands-free, and the project will be 100% finished - but it's just cosmetics ;)
Hi guys m,has anyone experience this kind of bug with youtube music and car play recently?
Because I do not know if it’s an IOS issue with car play or else (usually it starts to play music the exact moment I press power on my car ). Now even if I tap on the yt icon from car play looks like this; the only workaround I had found was start the app from the phone and after that it works normally, if I close the app on the phone it’s bugged again in the car play
*update* if I ask siri to play some music it starts work as usual 😅
hey friends!! just wondering at what mileage would it be recommended to change the transmission oil in a CH-R?
I have a 2019 with 52k km and just trying to plan ahead, thanks!
Camped at Anza-Borrego over the weekend for 3 days and 2 nights. With all the creature comforts in a compact crossover SUV.
Hey all,
Before risking scratching the wireless charger on my C-HR+, I designed and installed these protective pads.
Wireless charging may still work. If you want to prevent it, you may need to make the part thicker using a standard 3D printing slicer to block wireless charging.
All the details:

Just bought a 2021 c-hr nightshade yesterday with 50k on the dash. Today I hear this at idle and low speed. Any ideas as to what this might be?
I have a 2019 LE that is starting to switch gears slowly so I wanted to do a transmission fluid exchange (66k miles). I went to two shops and one charged me $350 and the other $300. Are these prices fair?
edit: seeing a lot of posts saying its issues with the cvt transmission. could this be a possibility too since it is slowing acceleration.
Bonjour je viens d'acquérir un nouveau véhicule CHR hybride 2017 avec 151000 km
et après avoir checker le véhicule je constate qu'il ya de l'huile depuis un moment ici je soupçonne le tendeur de chaîne a votre avis c'est ça ou ça peut être autre chose, la fuite se situe a l'arrière gauche du moteur.
J'ai fait quasiment 2000 killometre avec sans aucune goutte d'huile au sol et le niveau d'huile ne baisse pas
Around how much should I expect this to cost to get repaired? 2018 CHR. Do I need to take it into a shop, or is this fixable myself? I had been procrastinating taking it into a repair shop, and then someone recommended I can use grommets to fix this. If it's not too expensive, I would rather just have someone else do it, as I have no car repair experience.
We have a 2019 CHR and twice now this weird alarm/squealing starts when we get in the car and won’t stop. The last time no matter what we did it kept going until it randomly turned off in the middle of a drive. Today it started the same way, got in the car, turned it on and now it’s happening again. We’re worried it’ll kill the battery if it doesn’t stop soon. Anyone know what’s this is?
It's that time of the week! Whether you just finished a car wash, found a scenic spot, or simply parked at home this is our new weekly event for sharing your C-HR photos.
Drop your photos in the comments below and show us those lines! 🚗✨
Does anyone know how to put type s dome light kit in to replace existing system
Basically the title. I know Toyota gives you 10 years of warranty for the pluggable battery (phev model). What happens after that? How much does it costs to replace it?
Car: Toyota C-HR 2017 Hybrid 1.8 (JDM import)
Issue: “Headlight system malfunction. Visit your dealer” + yellow triangle on dash. Error appears 2–3 seconds after startup and stays.
What I’ve done so far:
Tried multiple rear headlight height sensors (no fix)
Wiring checked completely from rear to front (all OK)
Calibration attempted multiple times using diagnostic tools
Mechanic confirmed headlight leveling motors are working beams move up/down and auto-leveling works when car is lifted and lowered and shows data on computer
Current situation:
System is physically working (auto-leveling responds), but error does not go away.
Question:
What could cause the system to work normally but still show this error?
Looking for proper diagnosis steps instead of guessing parts.
Hello,
What do you think about jump starters on AliExpress that also include a tire inflator for around $30? I’m not posting the link to avoid promoting it or getting banned.
What specifications should I look for for a 2017 Toyota C-HR?
Are there specific models to choose or avoid (apart from bad reviews) ?
