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 have a 99 Toyota Corolla ve and it was fine until a week ago when a malfunction indicator lamp lit up. I took my car to a mechanic where the car electronic system was checked. It showed that my car has a evap control system vent control circuit malfunction. According to the mechanics, it would cost me 400-500 dollars to fix it besides a good amount of money just for a diagnostic test. After the check up, the malfunction indicator was off but then come back later. I learned that many other Toyota cars have the same problems and also the malfunction indicator light still on even after fixing the problem. This is a problem of a faulty circuit that would not allow the canister to vent and that causes gas to become trapped in the canister and makes it break down. Thus, resulting in the charcoal canister not working properly. I don't know how safe driving my car if the problem persists and it would cause problem with smog check, gas, fire...
