Two problems related to door latch have been reported for the 1998 Chevrolet Prizm. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I bought my 98 chevy Prizm in oct. 1999. Within a couple years the door handles started to break, one after another. I tried to get Chevrolet to repair them when 2 handles were broke, and when 5 were broke, said I need diagnosis, costs money, I dont have, now 8 are broken. My car is a death trap!!.
Door lock is difficult to reach due to design.
