Read complaints for TOYOTA CELICA (2001)
I was driving my 2001 toyota celica gt when i hit a patch of ice and slid off the road, i slid over an embankment and hit a fire hydrant head on at about 45 mph, the airbags did not deploy. My face hit the steering wheel and the entire lower half of my body jammed into my spine, causing permanent damage. When further inspected the passenger side airbag sensor was completely broken away from the frame of the vehicle. I'm not entirely sure whether this is a known defect in the 2000+ year models of the toyota celica's. The condenser, and radiator and frame were damaged. The radiator was replaced, the condenser was not. The frame is still crushed. Airbag light stays on continuously, and check engine light comes on occasionally for no apparent reason. Seat belt was properly fastened at the time of the crash.
As i was pulling into myparking spot in the ramp, my car 'unexpectedly' lurched forward into a concrete pillar on the left and a wire barrier and concrete wall ahead.damage to the car was $5,647.92. My air bag did not deploy nor did my seat belt hold me. My head flew forward onto the steering wheel and i required 14 stitchesbelow my mouth and chin on the outside and 12 on the inside.
Never had a problem with anything not working but since i've noticed the front airbag lights on the cruise control and horn has stopped working don't know if it could have been a related issue to the airbag have checked the fuses and all of them was good but my horn and cruise control has stopped working. One other thing i have noticed and about my celica is they car vibrations have made the door bolts come loose door stays shut but very noticeable cause the door lights stay on and you could see where the interior lights is off but once your driving down the road and the interior lights start blinking and have to tighten them up ever so often so this incident don't happen.
Consumer's vehicle was involved in a frontal collision at an impact of 30 mph, and neither of the frontal air bag deployed. Dealer was not contacted.
Since the recalls have came out for the celica oil issues my wife has been trying to get a solution from toyota. Toyota claims that her car is not part of the issue however tsb eg 6020 her car is a part of the issue. I also want to point out that there is no difference of the cars that were recalled and hers they all have the same engine same parts. So bottom line she should of been taking car of by toyota and the engine replaced. She now has a car that is about to catch on fire and not able to drive and for years she has been trying to get answers and pushed away. We are asking that you look into the parts of the engines that were recalled and her parts. You will see there all the same. She paid 22,000 for this car and has had nothing but trouble. Im just glad the car did not catch fire while she was driving.
As soon as i bought my car in may 2017, i realized that my car was running out of oil super fast. I checked to see if there were any leaks or problems, but there were none. To this day dec 2018 i've spent about 2k on oil alone. I know there was a recall on this particular problem in the celicas. I recently went to a toyota dealership and they told me that my car was not qualified to even be considered for the recall. I had got into a accident with a deer about a couple of months ago and my insurance totaled my car out. There was only damage to my hood, headlights, and my bumper. I bought the car back from them, but all in all nothing was wrong with my car internally. I really can't afford oil every week but i do love this car. If there is anything you guys can do/help with i'd appreciate it.
I have a 2001 toyota celica gt, about 10,000 miles ago i took my car in for an oil change and they said that my oil was a qt low.so i took note.the other day my engine sounded different, so i pulled over at a gas station and checked the oil. There was no oil on the dip stick. I bought a qt, put it in and drove to work.when i checked it again, i was still unable to see oil on the dip stick, i put another qt in. I dove home and checked again, i could just see the oil on the bottom of the dip stick, i put another qt in.this brought it almost to the full line.i checked for oil leaks under the car and found no visible area that the mass amount of oil leaked out, i burned it.i did some research and found out that 00-02 toyota celica gts have this problem and that its a manufactures defect. It was addressed and fixed in 2003. I also found out that in europe, all of the 00-02 toyota celica gts have been recalled for the same problem. I called our local toyota dealership and asked if there was a recall and they said no. I then asked what needed to be done to fix this problem, toyota said that i needed to replace my engine out of pocket. I asked about the recall in europe, the tech said he knew about it.i also called the usa toyota head quarters and made a complaint, they said my car wasn't under warranty so they wouldn't help me in anyway.i estimate that my 2001 toyota celica gt burned a qt of oil every 800 miles.when i found that my oil was that low, i feared not only for my safety but for my passengers and others on the road.what if i had burned all of my oil and my engine froze up. I could caused a fatal accident?my engine has tremendous loss of power because of this issue.i could bog out crossing a highway and cause an accident.the worse part is my car is polluting the environment with hydro carbons.i am stuck with it, it wont pass emissions.
I purchased a toyota celica 2001 with a 1zz-fe engine in may of this year 2014 after another driver totaled my car. It got a fresh oil change from pepboys and consumed the oil in about 3 weeks. This has caused the engine to create a loud constant knocking sound over time which is any time i'm not going over 40 mph and after doing more research online i see that it is a known issue with the engine and the only permanent solution is to replace it with an 03-05 model 1zz-fe engine. I have since been to a mechanic multiple times who recommended i replace the rods to "buy some time" until it dies and the anxiety of it dyeing along with the sound its making is enough to cause an accident. I researched online and found out toyota had used undersized pistons and oversized rings to compensate in the 1zz-fe engines from 1999-2002corollaand celica's, causing them to drink the oil at a very high rate after so many miles.also that a lot of people have this issue. There are many 2000-2002 celicas for sale online with blown motors due to the same issue. I commute to work and back which is less than ten miles away. I do not have the money for this as i am 24 and taking care of my disabled mother and trying to get back in school. I had the car less than a month before it started having issues and have records of the oil changes it has gotten since the first owner. Please look into this and recall this engine.
1zz fe engine oil consumption issue burning 1l per full tank weekly depending on how i drivefailure to top up weekly would result in massive engine malfunction and seize or blow can cause serious accidentmay not last on hwy at 100km/hr for more than 2-3 hours straight without stoppingoil is expensive.
This engine has a known oil consumption issue. It can cause engine failure at any given time. I have had a motor completely fail while on the freeway with a total loss of power due to oil levels running dry. I have contacted toyotas recall department ant they said unless nhtsa makes this a recall there is nothing they can do for owners of these cars. It is only a matter of time until this happens to someone and they lose their life over a poorly designed motor. Please help with this issue before it does lead to loss of life.
Just another burning oil complaint here. I bought this car as an alternative to my tahoe for when i drive 1.5 hour away for work. I wasn't expecting to have to put in nearly a quart of oil with every trip. Seems to me like this piston issue is well known, well documented, heavily complained about, and that toyota should do something about this. They have a reputation for producing engines that go 300,000 miles easily and ours are dying out at 150,000. Turns out one of my friends had the same year celica and their engine gave out on them while driving in rush hour traffic in des moines. This could be fatal.how many hundreds or thousands of these cars out there that could just stop working at any moment, in any traffic condition, because of a known defect no one is doing anything about?
The engine makes a horrible ticking sound and consumes almost 4 quarts of oil for every four hundred miles i drive, so basically every time i fill up with gas i'm also filling my car with oil. When i first noticed this in 2011 i took it to a mechanic and they said they couldn't find anything wrong with it. They said i could pay them to take apart the entire engine, but there was no guarantee they would find the problem.at first i would add an extra quart of oil every time i filled up with gas, but now this has progressively gotten worse - to four quarts for every four hundred miles. The engine light stays on all the time and just today it started flashing. There is absolutely no reason i should have to add this much oil every single time and just imagine all of the pollution going into the environment! thisis definitely a quality related issue for toyota. After doing some research about this car i have discovered that the 2000-2002 celica gt's engines were made incorrectly and that its a manufactures defect. So because toyota decided to skimp on making quality engines pretty much anyone who has one of these has to buy oil and gas and drives with the fear that the engine could possibly stop at any point and cause an accident.
The contact owns a 2001 toyota celica. The contact statedwhile driving various speeds she heard a loud knocking noise in the engine and the vehicle was very difficult to drive. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer who advised her that the engine failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired with a rebuilt engine. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.
I purchased my celica new in 2001.this year i had a new clutch and transmission put in.in the past 6 months i noticed that i was putting oil in on a regular basis,no leaks and no smoke form the exhaust.i have 128 thousand miles on the car.ihave changed the oil on schedule.i contacted toyota in jacksonville and was told i somehow must have abused the motor or not changed the oil regularly.long story short, now i am looking for a replacement motor and toyota wants almost $6000.00.i have shopped around and the cheapest way to go would be a used motor.if i had not already put in a new transmission and clutch this car would be in the junkyard.after reading all the complaints associated with this motor i would be a fool to put in another motor to have it do the same thing in 50,000 miles.that being said ,toyota should address this and fix this issue for all celica owners.
I notice something wrong when i had to changethe oil twice in one month, i checked the oil level and noticed that it was burning oil.i have always followed the maintenance schedule as shown.i took it to a shop and had the engine checked, and the technician told me that it had "weak valves" after a compression check was done.i have a neighbor with the same vehicle who came back from europe from an assignment and he told me that toyota has a recall over there for the weak valves.he told me that toyota is replacing the engines as a solution to that problem. He said that the toyota dealership had told him that it was the only solution they had for the problem.
On march 2008 i decided to purchase a 5 speed manual 2001 toyota celica gt from a third party. After inspecting the vehicle with a certified mechanic i bought it with 98,000 miles. The next day, as massachusetts law states i went to get the inspection sticker for the vehicle and everything went ok. Also, i decided to do a full check on the car (brakes, oil, filters, etc). However after 4 weeks the car started to make a grinding noise when i would let go of the gas and i also noticed that the red oil light on the dash board would blink for a second when i came to a full stop. Afraid that the car could have an oil leak i went to the shop right away to get a new oil change.at the shop the mechanic immediately checked the engine and told me that it was completely dry. Now how is it possible that this could happen if i had changed the oil just 4 weeks prior? i only drive about 40 miles daily so that's only about 1100 miles!i researched online to see if there was someone else experiencing the same and found many owner's with the exact same problem. I bought toyota because i thought they were a reliable company and that you could trust the vehicles they make. Sadly in this case that is far from the truth.after requesting quotes from multiple shops i found out that in order to fix the engine the piston rings would need to be replaced. Such work was quoted between $2000 to $3600. I do not plan to spend that amount of money for something that it is not my fault but toyota's. I can prove that the vehicle was taken care of by the previous owner and that i have taken very good care of it since i bought it. Therefore this oil issue was not caused by my 'lack of maintenance' rather by toyota's poor engine design. As a professional product engineer i have learned that a device must comply with a series of reliability tests before going to market; and in the case of malfunctions attributed to the manufacturer, they (the manufacturer) must respond accordingly to the public.
I was driving down the road about 55 mph when i heard a bang and smoke coming from the engine. Ihad it towed to the toyota dealerin harrisnburg va . They told me my engine hadblown .my warrenty refuses to pay the repairs.so now i have no car.and a bill for 4100 .that i cant pay .and now they are charging me 25 dollars a day to hold my car .i dont understand why i have a warrenty thats no use to me or my car .
Consumer purchased vehicle in 04/01.while driving engine began making a "clicking" noise.dealer diagnosed oil sludge in engine. *nlm
I purchased my 2001 toyota celica in september 2009 with only 62,000 miles on the vehicle and engine. After purchasing the vehicle, i started to notice that it was burning a quart of oil about every 800 miles. I continued to add oil and keep regular oil changes. I took it to the dealership where i was told this was "normal" oil consumption by toyota and it repair would not be covered under warranty. My warranty has since expired and i now have around 72,000 miles on the vehicle. It is now burning oil at around 1 quart per 500 miles. This is not an acceptable level of oil burning for any vehicle. After researching the problem on the internet, i have found out that there are many owners of toyota's with the same engine and they are having the same issues with their vehicles. I have also found out that toyota of great britain has already issued a tsb regarding this issue and will replace the entire engine block due to this issue. No such tsb from toyota exist in the u.s.a however. Apparently the problem is caused by inadequate piston ring and engine block design. This should have been a recall since such a high amount of vehicles are affected by this problem and toyota has already acknowledged this as a tsb in great britain. The issue affects the 2000-2001 models with the 1zzfe engine. I would like toyota to address this issue.
It is commonly known the 1998 to 2005 1.8l 1zz-fe engines in toyota celica's burn mass amounts of oil after 100,000 miles. (1 quart or more every 500 to 1000 miles). The defect is in the piston. Prior to 2005 there are only 4 holes in the piston behind the oil rings for oil to flow. After 2005 there are 12 holes. This lack of oil flow causes excessive wear on cylinder walls. Thus, the engine starts to burn oil. It gets worse and worse until the engine fails. The engine then needs a complete rebuild or replacement. Toyota has known this for years (like the resent recalls) and has done nothing for the consumer.i know that 100,000 miles would be out of warranty for any engine, but knowing of the defect and doing nothing is not fair to the consumer.toyota should recall all of these engines and either replace them or pay for them to be rebuilt.
I had purchased a 2001 toyota celica gt in october 2005, and in 2006 i noticed that the engine was consuming more oil then normal (1 quart oil = 500miles) after the oil was changed at 96,000 miles, i also started noticing a ticking noise coming from the engine compartment, i've taken it to roseville ... See more toyota in california to have it checked out and they kept blaming it on my exhaust, even when i took a technician for a drive to let him listen to the noise, but he still said it was my exhaust. I have taken my car to them multiple time to have them check it out and also had them do a valve adjustment to see if that was it. It's been 4 years now and i'm still dealing with the issue, i am also on a local forum newcelica.org and there has been alot of complaints of them having the same issues. There is no way of fixing the issue, but to only replace the engine with one of 2003-2005 years, there was have been some people who have attempted to fix it, by replacing the internal components with one from the 03-05 years. Please help, i'm getting tired of dealing with this issue and its starting to get too expensive. I thought toyota was supposed to be reliable, but i guess not, if they have soo many issues, i should have just stayed with honda, at least i know honda lasts longer then 200,000 miles.
I had purchased a 2001 toyota celica gt in october 2005 to initially get to and from work, and in 2007 i noticed that the engine was consuming more oil then normal (1 quart oil = 500miles) after the oil was changed at 96,000 miles, i also started noticing a ticking noise coming from the engine compartment that was only noticeable while driving and i don't know what caused it.i've taken it to roseville toyota in california to have it checked out and they kept blaming it on my exhaust, even when i took a technician for a drive to let him listen to the noise, but he still said it was my exhaust. I have taken my car to them multiple time to have them check it out and also had them do a valve adjustment to see if that was it. It's been 3 years now and 133,000 miles later i'm still dealing with these issues, except now its ticking all the time.please help, i'm getting tired of dealing with this issue and its starting to get too expensive, having to keep buying oil every 500 miles. I am a college student and i commute to and from school (68 miles round trip, five days a week), and these issues i've been experiencing is so frustrating, and the engine ticks soo much like its about to break down, and the anticipation of when it's going to break down is getting to be very irritating. I had initially purchased the car knowing that toyota was known for making reliable and durable cars like honda, so i decided to give toyota a try and see if it held up to its reputation, and plus it was an upgrade from my 89 honda civic that i use to have.i've experienced more mechanical problems with this car then my civic had and it was an 89. I thought toyota was suppose to be reliable, durable, and dependable, i guess not. If i would have known these cars had soo many issues ahead of time, i would have just stayed with honda, at least i know honda lasts longer then 200,000 miles.
Engine had to be replaced due to weak valves.
The engine needed to be rebuilt at approximately 8000 miles and again at 14132 miles.the dealer said he suspects abuse but the vehicle has only been driven in a normal manner.
This claim is at my name not the customer.the customer's name is [xxx].we have a claim of his vehicle and would want to know if you have more claims of this model for engines.the customer won't give me the internet address where he found information posted from other customers about his claim.we would like to know if there is something written from the manufacturer regarding this matter of your information.thanks for the help you can give us.

Belt tensioner squeals and makes noise as evidenced several thousands of miles ago ( currently 46k miles), especially when humid, and will eventually need to be replaced again.this will be the fourth time since i purchased the vehicle in dec. 2000.why is this a defective part which continually needs to be replaced??
The contact owns a 2001 toyota celica. While driving at any speed, the gear shiftier did not work and made a grinding noise. There was no warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who replaced the transmission; however, the failure recurred after approximately seven years. The vehicle was taken to another independent mechanic who diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 72,000.
Excessive oil consumption, 1.5 quart of oil every 500 miles, started at 96,000 miles, at 114,000 miles now.

Dt*: the contact stated while driving various speeds, a loud noise was heard.the vehicle was driven to the dealer who determined the transmission needed to be replaced.
Driving home at approx. 70 mph the engine began to miss...causing a loss in rpms and a loud knocking coming from the engine followed by a high pitch squealling (almost like the fan belt was going out)...after pulling off the road and turning the car off to inspect the noises...no signs where showing that there was a problem...check engine light did not come on...assuming the problem had worked itself out...we continued to get back on the highway...it started again...the rpms dropped throwing the car out of gear several times until we could get off the road again...the car was taken to the dealer...they informed me that the tramission was blown causing the clutch to go out as well...has this been a problem in this car?the warrenty is refusing to cover the transmission...making a total cost of 3 grand (give or take a few $)...
The accessory belt tensioner in my 2001 toyota celica has had numerous problems, causing squeeling and rattling noises and a bolt to break off into my engine.
I just recently purchased a used 2001 toyota celica. I bought it for my 16 year old daughter to have as a first car, but recently i've noticed the flimsy fit that the seat belts have seemed to had against the driver and the passenger seat. I am unhappy about it because if another driver crashes into my daughter, i do not want her to get hurt because her seat belts were not up to par. It is very expensive to replace them and i do not appreciate the crazy costs, as they would seem to me that they are easily found.

Struts holding up rear hatch failure, causing hatch to come dowm
Belt tensioner squeals and makes noise as evidenced several thousands of miles ago ( currently 46k miles), especially when humid, and will eventually need to be replaced again.this will be the fourth time since i purchased the vehicle in dec. 2000.why is this a defective part which continually needs to be replaced??
Rear hatch closes by itself. Dealer acknowledges problem but will not replace because it was not reported while still in warranty.the support arms are not strong enough to support the hatch .they have been discontinued and have been replaced with stronger ones.the hatch comes down without warning and could cause injury such as smash hands or fingers of children especially.
"ding" from a car door thru bumper out of alignment.
While drive at 72 mph on a straight, dry interstate, i moved my seat backward. Somehow during the process, i must have turned the steering wheel. Because the car began to fishtail. For several seconds the car fishtailed, while i held the wheel steady until it returned to normal steering. I have been driving for over half a century and never had a car fishtail on me before. I feel that what happened to me was not normal and is unsafe.
Vehicle came with directional tires that were put on the wrong way. Consumer was told that this was very dangerous, and that the tires could disintegratewhen driving over 50 mph.

2001 toyota celica gts. While driving on the freeway i engaged the cruise control. When i tried to disenage the cruise control by stepping on the break pedal the car started accelerating out of control. I tried turning off the cruise control with the switch but the car kept accelerating. I had to slam on the breaks, put the car in neutral and turn the engine off to stop the car. When i turned the engine back on it rev'd up and almost pegged out the rpm gauge. I had to turn the engine on and off several times to get the cruise control to disengage.
I purchased a brand new toyota celica in 2001. In 2006 it began sounding strange when accelerating and also when i would back up and use the brakes. It would make a very strange sound and the brakes would not work the same as they used to. I reported this to mechanics at toyota but they said the car was fine mechanically.on december 24, 2008 when merging on to a exit san jose blvd from 295 in jacksonville florida my car would not slow down it actually accelerated. The rpm gauge went up instead of down and the pressure was high. My car would not slow down or stop. It was accelerating without my foot on the pedal. I tried to put the brakes on and the brakes would not work. My car would not stop. I was merging to oncoming traffic on a busy road nearing a crash. I then tried to put my car in neutral and it still would not stop. I then put it in park and it still kept going driving. I then pulled the key out because it was my last attempt to stop the carand thank god my car stopped just missing a collision.so to sum it all up, my car accelerated, had high pressure and the brakes failed completely. The engine was revving. It was very scary and if not for my pulling the key out i would probably be dead or seriously injured and could have caused a terrible accident. I had my car towed to ernie palmer toyota. They claimed it was a faulty accelerator sensor. I sold my car to them because i never wanted to get in or look at that car again. I still have nightmares about it. I do not know anything about how it was fixed because i did not have it fixed, i sold it. However the mechanics later at toyota told me it was a faulty accelerator sensor.there were no injuries other that my neck being hurt from being thrown to such a quick stop.
I was driving west bound on i-10 near downtown houston, tx when i went to pass a truck and pressed the gas pedal. When i released the gas pedal, the car kept accelerating and the engine went to the redline. I tried the brakes which worked a little bit but the engine was still screaming at the redline. Fortunately the freeway was quite clear as i just kept going faster and faster. I'm a "car-guy" and i'm also a mechanic and since this was my first new car i ever bought, i was worried about the engine blowing up more than i was about hitting someone since the freeway was practically empty. I did get up past 110 mph though before i decided to put the automatic transmission into neutral and turn the key to shut the engine off. I coasted for a little while to reduce speed and then started the engine while still coasting. Everything was back to normal and i put the transmission back into "drive" and went about my way.i had just had my floormats thoroughly washed so they were not in the vehicle at the time since they were drying. There were no floormats in the vehicle. I have never reported this problem because i just thought it was a freak incident but now as i'm hearing more reports on similar issues i thought it would be helpful for other people to know of this incident as well.
Never had a problem with anything not working but since i've noticed the front airbag lights on the cruise control and horn has stopped working don't know if it could have been a related issue to the airbag have checked the fuses and all of them was good but my horn and cruise control has stopped working. One other thing i have noticed and about my celica is they car vibrations have made the door bolts come loose door stays shut but very noticeable cause the door lights stay on and you could see where the interior lights is off but once your driving down the road and the interior lights start blinking and have to tighten them up ever so often so this incident don't happen.
After only 32000 miles, i had a sudden and severe loss of power in engine almost leading to stalling.the engine went to high revvingabout 8k rpms and a burning oil smell.with this, climbing hills, evasive manuevers, and other acceleration issues almost caused crashes because they were so suydden and severe.the dealer siad the clutch was burnt, but it was so sudden and without any warning.
