2014 Aurion Transmission Problem?

Recommended Posts

Hey All, I recently purchased a new Aurion , and it has done a total of 10,000 km.

My GF and I decided to go on a trip yesterday, but half way through the trip to Sydney, after stopping for a rest, it got quite hard to take the car out of 'P' and made a big thumping noise when it did.

Next while driving and having to slow down to 80 km/h I noticed that at one point the car wouldn't shift to a lower gear, and when it did change gears, either higher or lower, it was an extremely rough shift. (I was not using the paddle shift)

Now today while driving to Bathurst , I decided to stop at Toyota Bathurst, and get them to check it out. And the issue just got worse, after about 5 minutes of driving it with the service person, the car decided to completely not move anymore.

It is now at Toyota being looked at.

Would anyone know what might've happened to the car? Since the car is less than 1 month old, can I get a newer one? If not how long does this issue take to repair.

Also I noticed after the car decided to not move, when I put the gear into either D or R, the car would not automatically move at all, and applying acceleration only made the revs top out at 2K and not go higher.

- I noticed there was a post about this, but wasn't sure if it was related to a new car that hasn't even done over 40,000km.

Just in case anyone, was interested, Terry Shield Toyota in Sydney, specifically said "we are unsure of how this happened, but the clutch in the was eaten away, and ... (Didnt hear the rest as all I could think of was "WTF clutch in an auto?") And we have to order something with transmission from Japan, and it will take about 4 weeks"

To 're-cap on what I'm thinking, is that my 2014 Aurion just happens to be a lemon :(

he would mean the clutch packs in the auto, and its not a lemon lol. You just got the bad one in the pack.The autos rarely play up so to have one fail at that amount of Ks is weird
