Hello,

It sounds like a shaft speed sensor has gone out but to be sure lets run the codes to see what come up.

Hi, we have scanned from authorized scanner in show room , first time we got two errors .1. c1078 and 2. c145F. After removing the errors again we scanned so it is appearing only one that is C1078. While driving some noise in under body above fifty mph speed.
Based on above issue showroom guys told me to change the CVT gearbox. is it correct thing? please.

I have done some research on this problem and they are mentioning the tire size being different from front to back can you confirm the tire sizes are all the same?

Hmm. I can see the noise or overheating problem but I don't know if a sensor could pick that up. The part is called a center support bearing. Here is a guide to help you remove the drive shaft.

So you can change the bearing.

Check out the diagrams (Below)

Please let us know what happens.
