"Check engine light starting coming on and then engine would shut down & I would have to coast to a stop. I would then re-start the car and it would work. Happened 5 times over the course of several months. It took the Toyota dealership that long to figure out what was wrong with it. They said a brake cable wiring was loose and it was causing a sensor to shut the car down. I don't understand the problem but they fixed it and it has run great ever since. I have had this car 18 years and it is an excellent car. This engine trouble is about the only issue I have had in all the time I've had it. My next car will definitely be a Toyota Corolla."
