The 2000 Toyota Celica has a defective belt tensioner mechanism that results in a dead battery and ultimate loss of all electrical starter, etc. I have already replace the tensioner (and battery) twice costing $500. Now this has happened for the 3rd time same car. In my opinion this is dangerous since it leads to people being stranded or worse loss of power on the freeway. Sunnyside Toyota, in north olmsted, ohio says the tensioner "should be replaced every 40 - 50k miles.
