Consumer Description

I OWN A 2000 TOYOTA CELICA GTS, I BOUGHT IT IN 2001AND EVER SENCE THEN THE BELT HAS SQUEALED. I HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED AT 25,000 MILES, THEY REPLACED THE BELT TENSIONER AND THE BELT BECAUSE IT WAS CHEW UP THE BELT. MY CAR IS NOW AT 46,000 MILES AND IT IS MAKING THE SAME NOISE. I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AGAIN AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS THE SAME THING. I LOVE MY CAR ,BUT AM VERY DISAPOINTED IN THE DISIGN OF THE OF THE BELT TENSIONER. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE REPLACED BY TOYOTA AND FIXED ONCE AND FOR ALL. THANK YOU, ROBERT VAN DYCK. *AK
