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.

When I was driving my 1999 Toyota Corolla, the steering wheel started shaking. Then when I tried to make right turn, I heard something broke and the car couldn't move. Towed the car to dealership and found the left transaxle was broken. Fortunately, the accident happened on local street. If it were on highway, I cold have been injuried.
