Hi Janine, I am sorry to hear of your dilemma..Yes I would suggest a second opinion either at Toyota or another reliable mechanic. It is rare to have a CVT failure at such low mileage but it can happen. As you said it had not had a good service history it could be that the transmission had a tough life either towing or driven hard. Please update us on what the outcome of the second opinion turns out too be, if it requires a replacement transmission someone may have a source or advise where to locate one for a good quality replacement unit.

Welcome to the forum Lou, any questions or tips and advise are always welcomed mate. Enjoy KAA

Welcome to the forum John, Depending on where you are your best option may be to get your existing alternator checked first to be totally sure that is the issue.The next if unable to find one suitable even on the aftermarket you may have to have that one rebuilt ..That may be your only option..I am sure somewhere there is one suitable but finding it is always the issue. I would get good advice from an AUTO ELECTRICIAN as they will have the inside knowledge of any sources that may able able to help you mate. KAA

Thanks Ash for the post mate, I watched this last night and he really explained it well how a simple thing can be so very very expensive when it is designed for use and not for servicing. I recommend watching this as well for all who have a HVAC issue in their Toyota's or Lexus and as always he is the GURU for both KAA

Hi Martin, Firstly welcome to the forum.. I would go on to Youtube I am sure there are many videos there showing the process. If you have no luck there google it and see if anything there can help out, I have never done it on a corolla but I do know on my Aurion it was easy on the right side but a real pain on the left with the battery in the way.
