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

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

I am trying to renew my registration for my 2000 toyota and it doesn't let me and it might have a recall on the lights

I towed my vehicle to newbold toyota on july 28, 2014, and on july 29, i spoke to [xxx], a service advisor and explained why my vehicle was there. He indicated they would diagnose the problem and get back to me. At 3:28 pm [xxx] called me back indicating that the engine was done due to the over-rev which blew the engine. Here is my statement on what happened: on july 28 2014 at about 7 a.M., i was traveling to work on i-255 southbound when my gas pedal sunk to the floor while traveling at 70 mph in fifth gear. The car sped up, so having a manual transmission, i shifted into neutral. I proceeded to raise the pedal with the tip of my shoe, with no success and engine revving, i decided to slam on the brake for a brief second, when the gas pedal sprung right back up. I then placed it in sixth gear and kept going for approximately 8 miles, despite hearing a rattling noise. As i turned off onto my exit, i placed the transmission in neutral and that's when the engine died. At this point i coasted onto the shoulder of the exit ramp.On july 31, 2014 at 2:14 pm, i spoke with the general manager ([xxx] ) about my situation with the vehicle, and he told me to call toyota customer service (1-800-331-4331). I called and spoke with [xxx] who started a case for me. After giving her the above details, as well as additional information she requested, she checked on extended warranties and recalls on my vehicle. She informed me that toyota respectfully declines any assistance. I then asked to speak to her supervisor, which she replied, "that won't help you", and hung up. I feel strongly that this is a safety issue. I could have very easily crashed this vehicle under no fault of my own. I feel like toyota needs to make this right. I feel like they should replace my engine, as well as issuing a recall on this model year before someone gets killed.

This is a 3rd engine !!!!! When i got this car in 2008 it was already knocking from dealership. Soon rod bearings blew out and entire engine had to be replaced, these engines are very poor design that oil starve to death. After replacing engine they only last ya few years. 2010 second engine same thing started loosing oil not from leaking but from consumption. Shortly after started knocking and right after spun the rod bearing and damaged engine again. These 1zzfe engines have very poor circulation of oil and only will take specific oil products because of very weak oil pump. So on my 3rd engine and guess what ?! Knocking !! After all trouble with this i have over paid what this car is worth by a ton with engine replacements because dealership can't find the cause. I am a father and commute 100mi to work and back everyday and these engines are the worst. They oil starve and die. With new oil pump and lucas oil additive you may have hope but if you follow dealership instructions few years later have 4,000$ for new engine ready. *tr

Car has 140,000 miles on it, and is burning approximately 1 quart of oil every four days. Black smoke coming from exhaust. Found several other people online with the same car (2000-2002 celica gt 1.8l) with the same problem. Problems were noticed as early as 80,000 miles. No visible oil leaks. Found information online regarding a fix that toyota made to the engine in 2003 from 4 holes in pistons, to 8 holes as well as larger piston grove.

My 2000 toyota celica has been in the shop 3 times within the last 4 months due to the serpentine belt and tensioner. Both were replaced and within a month the problem has recurred. After researching this on the internet i have found that this is a ongoing problem with the toyotas. I feel there should be a recall on these vehicles to properly fix this issue before it causes serious injuries or fatal accidents. Thank you for you consideration. *tr

This vehicle has ( according to all sources available ) burned oil from the time it left the plant brand new,most 2000 to 2002 toyota celica gt's have this issue as the rings were bad. Toyota has never produced a recall for this issue and it has effected thousands of vehicles.Toyota did change the rings out for the 2003 models and newer, so they did know the problem existed.This has caused many celica's to experience blown motors. *tr

A truck tire went out and locked up my engine of my celica
