Four problems related to check engine light on have been reported for the 1998 Toyota Camry. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 02/10/2004

While driving my car, it turned off with no warning. I could not turn the car back on as I tried, the engine light went on. I notified the dealer. The dealer informed me that my engine had seized. My car is a 98 camary with 75000 miles which was purchased from the dealer and has had all service checkups from the dealer. The dealer informed me that it would cost me 4700 dollars to replace the engine and my warranty was up in July of 2003. I am wondering what is going on with Toyota. My family has had six Toyotas since 1988. This car and our last Toyota camary have been horrible. The 2000 needed a brand new transmission and now this. In addition to this when I called the dealer they told me to purchase another car as if it was just that easy. I am a single mother who brought a Toyota because of the supposed dependablity. I guess I was wrong.
