Does yours whine ?

My Toyota Yaris cross was making whirring noise while slowing. Took it to the dealer, they said the noise is from transmission. They ordered parts from Japan but said will take time. Is it safe to drive that car until it gets fixed?

Ask your dealer.

Safe, carry on.

Unsafe, insist on a loan car while yours is off the road. 

Guess what your dealer will say 🤣

If they ordered parts, I'd say that is confirmation of an issue. Any idea what they ordered?

Hybrids do whine. They use asynchoronous AC motors, in addition to the electronic whines you can hear from the inverter, depending upon what it is doing.

My hearing is just falling off (getting old sucks), but when I got my Yaris 8 years ago it made all manner of whining noises, which was expected and normal. I'm assuming it still makes many of those sounds, but I can't hear them anymore.
