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 airbag problems being reported to NHTSA, this is about as dependable a car as you’ll find. 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.

: the contact stated without incident, the airbag light illuminated on and off. The dealership determined the connections were loose. The connections were tightened and the code was reset. The consumer was told the air bag would probably not deploy if the light was flashing. Updated 11/21/06.
