It appears to be a known limitation…
Nicole Grant of Toyota Canada public relations replies:
“Toyota has become aware that on 2003-2008 model-year Corolla and Matrix vehicles, odometer mileage is recorded accurately only up to 299,999 km. A new odometer must then be installed.
Our dealerships record mileage and service dates when an odometer is replaced. A copy of these records is placed in the owner's manual, along with a sticker on the odometer indicating that it was replaced.
Should a used-car buyer have any questions concerning the odometer reading, they may contact Toyota Canada or inquire at the motor vehicle office in the province where the vehicle was originally sold.”
A: Mohamed Bouchama, executive director of Car Help Canada (www.carhelpcanada.com; 416-651-0555), a non-profit consumer advocacy group, replies:
“Toyota should be responsible for the total cost of the repairs. It should "do the right thing by consumers" and recall every vehicle that has this problem due to their factory defective part.”
My 2005 Prius did the same. The word is that they are not programed to go higher. The only solution is to buy replacement OD unit.

Most likely the speed sensor. Do you also have a check engine light on?
^ Only idiots try to give advice when they have NO idea what they are talking about. 299999 is where ALL 2003 -2008 Corolla and Matrix odometers stop at, it was a design flaw so enormous that Toyota has subsequently lied saying they "did it on purpose" as there were literally Millions of cars affected. Just keep track on your trip meter to know when to change fluids. No problem
