Two problems related to latches/locks/linkage have been reported for the 1998 Toyota Corolla. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The front passerger door won't open both from inside and outside the vehicle. I took it the the Toyota dealer and was told the problem is due to malfunction of the latch in door. The driver side door is starting to show the same problem. The problem was occurred some 2 years ago. It would cause serious consequence when the occupant(s) need to be evacuated from the vehicle should something happen in emergency, e. G. Fire, road hazard, crush, etc.
Electric windows do not work when extreme temp arise. Cold winter days amd extreme summer days. Locks on doors popped out of place. Windows slipped and needed to be reparied.
