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.
Seat belt warning light did not stop flashing even after buckle up. Stopped flashing when pulling the seat belt out almost all the way. Now it stopped completely and only flashes once you pull the seat belt out almost to the end.
Update from Jun 12, 2019: Never got it fixed - light does not come on anymore, doesn't bother me.
