“The 95 Buick Lesabre, I have owned three of them now, and this will be the third time I've replace the ignition cylinder and keys due to a security system problem. This is about a 500.00 problem every time! From what I've heard this is a common problem with this vehicle. I'm a single father and don't have the money to be shelling out when this problem occurs. From what the repair facility said this could be fixed with a linkable fuse, so that fuse would go instead of the ignition wires burning up. This really is a simple way around spending 1,500.00 dollars on this problems. …”
