This is primarily a U.S. based forum, and you may have one of the many vehicles which are not available here. I recommend you locate a qualified local professional mechanic to diagnose your vehicle for you.

While it’s a US forum, he owns a Toyota Corolla. They are likely similar everywhere, even though there are diesels.

Looks like your transmission is hunting gears and maybe even the TCC engaging/disengaging…

Don’t know what transmission you have and if it is a CVT or not until you tell us what year it is…

I don’t see a CEL on, so that makes me think it could be a TCM program/software update needed…

I am going to recommend taking it to a Toyota dealer or a transmission shop for diagnostics…

I didn’t watch the video as I don’t click on stuff that I don’t KNOW that I can trust.

If you mean 50-60kph, that may be right around where the torque converter clutch is supposed lock up. But if things are not well, it can stutter / shudder / go in an out of lock up which causes an rpm fluctuation.

How many ks are on it, and what is the service history on the transmission? IDK where @jtsanders saw that it’s a Corolla (tho’ not doubting that), but also add the specific year/make/model.

Hello it’s 2015 model 135000 km driven and automatic transmission. What should tell them to check ?

Hello I have shared the details again it’s 2015 model 135000 driven automatic. I think other member already watch the video. How can I share the video to you ?

Well it looks like the L model has a 4 speed automatic and the LE and up models have the CVT’s…

Unfortunately I am afraid we might end up with a bit of a language barrier and I don’t won’t that to happen…

Just take it to a shop as I recommended before and tell them or show them what it is doing and let them do their jobs and figure it out, they don’t care what us internet guys say anyway… best NOT to tell them what to check, only what the symptoms are and let them do the checking out what they think it is…

You can always report back with what they say and we can go from there…

Wait , what??? Do you already own this, or are you looking to purchase it???

If you do not already own this, run as fast as you can, the very 1st year(s) 2014 and maybe the 2015 Corolla CVT’s had some issues and some other things if I remember correctly, I will have to look it back up tomorrow ( I found it look below)…

Watch this video a few times… I would not buy a US model in Germany anymore than I would buy a German model here in the states,(grey market vehicle) parts might be very hard to get, software updates might not have been done or able to be done depending…

It’s below the title along with “general discussion”.
