OHMYGOD! So Many Celi Problems!!!

[MEEandORYN]

Last month I took my car to the Dealership to have a few things looked at. The belts have continually had that awful squealing noise even since they were tightened when I originally received the car. Also, the condensation in the one headlight persists especially after rain and through humid weather. In addition, one side of the sunroof, when opened, refuses to pop up so that when the sunroof is closed one side stays open. Finally, and most importantly, the day I made the appointment to take my car in for service, I continually heard a

and anyways now he is replacing the belt and belt tensioner b/c TSB and a sunroof cable on "good will".

The moral of the story is that I have had 6 different loaner cars in 6 weeks and not had my car longer than 2 days.

I love the Celi but am now thinking about a WRX......

Bearings in the oil pan? That sounds fishy.

[MEEandORYN]

the bearing that connect the crankshaft to the rods went bad they said because of high reving. I ment that they had to remove the oil pan to get to the bearing you can;t get to them from the top by removing the head. Also I heard other people mention that their dealership told them that they shouldn't rev over 5000 which is total crap. I believe that this engine should have been built more like the s2000 engine with titanium parts which hold up to 8000 rpm. I don't know much about the lift problem, and I hope I don't have to experince it but if someone would let me know more about that would be great.

Same thing happened to my sunroof, the cable snapped....I didn't have any trouble witht hem, they did it right away under warranty although they got tons of grease all over my seats :mad:

Man I'd be pissed as hell. Espically having to take it back just after picking it up. I had to do that once, but 4-5 times... I'd be livid!!!

I'd get rid of the Celica, and get that WRX if I was you. Good luck, man.

[donkeyponkey]

Im also looking at a 2002 Sentra Spec V in addition to the WRX but havent decided yet...

[FriedRice]

nah... spec V isnt up to snuff compared to the other cars... but thats just my opinion. just get the WRX and mod it....
