Hi Scotty , As my 13 Corolla is at 264 K and getting close to 300 K, do you know whether the odometer will stop calculating at 299,999? I know the generations before did. I just wonder if this is the case on the 10th generation as well. Thanks.
This problem affects 2003-2008 Toyota Corollas and a few other models. (It took about 10 seconds to find this with an internet search.)

Hi, I did look on the Internet and found this article. It makes no mention of the tenth generation (2013) which my vehicle is and could not find anything about whether this is an issue in my vehicle. I will contact my local Toyota dealership tomorrow about this. Thanks.
They also didn't mention 48 million other cars. no mention usually means no problem
I have an 05 Matrix, and the odometer will stop at 300k, about 70k away from that.
To me, if that is the worst problem the car has, I am totally good with it. Not like it even matters the value of it after that anyway, most people are not going to pay much for a car with that many miles.
Many of my friends cars barely make it to 200k if that. Several are falling apart shortly after 100k, Chevy equinox, and 2016 honda odyssey to name a couple.
The trip odometer should still work so you can track oil changes and such. I use a note app on my phone for all maintenance, mileage and date. It won't affect me much when and if I make it to 299,999.
After 300k does it really matter? 😆 (Except for bragging rights.)
you can probably read the true miles with a diagnostic tool
