I was driving down the road in the vehicle I just bought and was going the speed limit and the engine literally broke into pieces and oil went everywhere.
A truck tire went out and locked up my engine of my Celica.
I was driving in heavy traffic at a speed of 15 to 20 miles per hour when I heard a sound as if a chain was dragging on the ground. I then realized that my car had shutdown, I pushed the car off the roadway to the shoulder and opened the hood to see a hole in my engine and broken parts and oil strewn in the engine compartment. The motor failed at 60489 miles for no apparent reason. I called the dealer from where the car was purchased and they were unwilling to service the car. I then found another dealer to take the car in for service after having the car in their shop for four days they call me to come and pick up the car without completing the needed repairs.
Problems with 2000 Toyota Celica's engine. The engine had begun to knock and was taken to the nearest Toyota dealer. Toyota did not agree to pay for the engine because they claim the vehicle was running low of oil. The consumer request compensation for the inconvenience.
I had crankshaft and bearings replaced in September due to failure, which I have seen many other people have similar problem. I was cruising at 55-60 mph on highway in 5th gear when I heard a loud pop, and the engine began to rattle, and then suddenly died. I had vehicle towed to dealership, and had to call dealership to ask about vehicle, I was told it was because I drove the vehicle too hard and that I would have to pay for the repairs.
Engine consumes oil & paint chips very easily (spectra blue).
