CarComplaints.com Notes: There must have been something in the water at the plant where they built the eighth generation Corollas, especially the 1998 and 1999 model years.
Outside of a few engine related issues for the 1999, these are about as dependable a car as you’ll find. And remember most of these cars have 200k miles on them by now. But good luck finding one; owners say they want a new car, but can’t justify trading in their Corolla because the darn thing just keeps rolling.

Two new tires were damaged because of the failure of valve stem within two week on my 1999 Toyota Corolla, ve. I had to have the tired replaced. It cost me $150.
Took vehicle in for mandatory state E-check to renew license plate tags. Check engine light was on and therefore, would automatically fail inspection. E-check attendant ran test anyhow as a diagnostic check. Results indicated emmisions problem. Took vehicle along with E-check results to conrad's for repair. Mechanic found no emissions trouble. Mechanic did find faulty central computer in vehicle responsible for false results and suggested possibility of other warning lights, indicators, and guages could be affected. Conrad's found bulletin statement from Toyota admitting 1999 Corolla computer failure, however no recall. Toyota has been contacted by owner, as well as conrad's, and verified they are aware of problem. Toyota has not assumed cost for replacement, estimated at $1200. Vehicle can not pass E-check until computer is replaced, therefore, tags can not be renewed, even though there is no emission trouble.
