| Transmission is too easy to shift into wrong gears. same four valves have been bent twice, once as a result of clutch sticking to floor causing a mis-shift. cruise control disengages after a few minutes of use causing the car to slow down abruptly. | |||

| The transmission is too easy to shift from 5th into 2nd and i almost blew the engine. this problem is known by toyota but they are not willing to fix the problem. as for the cruise control, every 2000 celica has the same problem. the cruise control slows down without warning up to 20mph. with no brake lights activated to indicate deceleration of the car an accident could easily happen. *ak | |||

| Past incident that i thought you should be made aware of. 2000 toyota celica accelerator stuck and car ended up going through a building. i reported incident to toyota, but their response of 11-6-03 simply stated airbags are designed to provide protection for driver and they sent me a brochure on air bags. the consumer stated she pulled into a parking lot and stopped the car. suddenly, the vehicle shifted gears and the accelerator became stuck. updated ivoq 04/02/10 | |||
