I bought a 2004 Toyota Corolla ce in July 2004 and today the engine light came on and stayed on. My girlfriend has a 2002 Toyota Corolla, and she told me , after I bought mine, that engine light started coming on for no discernible reason a few months after purchase. Dealer charged her for a part and labor on her new car to fix the engine ligth problem. This is obviously a known model problem. Why doesn't he manufacturer fix it before selling the car?.
