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.
I was driving and got pushed off the side of the road by a much bigger truck. I went straight down into a ditch and the air bags did not deploy. My seat belt broke off instead of locking. I hit my head on the windshield and my eyes/nose on the steering wheel. When my head hit the windshield, it cracked it. Making pieces of glass cut my cornea severely. Now I cannot see in my left eye.
