| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My yearmodel 2000 toyota celica has consistently and repeatedly had problems with the drive belt tensioner mechanism. on or about every 30,000 miles, the belt tensioner fails at which time rattling and squeaking noises eminate from the engine compartment as described in tsb #eg01401. i was able to have the tensioner replaced under warranty once. the next time it was replaced out of warranty at about 60 - 70,000 miles. now the vehicle has 90,000 miles on it and it is obvious that this part has failed again. i am concerned that the repeated and consistent failure of this part is putting my life and my passengers life at risk. |
