Prizm 4-cyl

  • 100,000 miles
I have had a 2000 Chevrolet Prizm and now someone threatened my life to force me to buy a 2001 Chevrolet Prizm. The windows of these cars fog up too severe to drive in minor or major rain and freezing rain. When it rains we have to pull over to the side of the road on highways and in cities and towns and wait for it to stop raining for the car to be safe to drive. Most all other cars have windows that are safe to dive with but these cars are not safe for driving in the rain.

The rear tier seems to be the leading cause for the failure. We still have not fixed the car except the rear tier. We have the old tier with
