1995 Buick Lesabre Problems, complaints & recalls

The vehicle stalls without warning. It sometimes stalls while at a stoplight or while driving down the road/highway. I have had a complete tune up along with a fuel pump, crankshaft sensor, camshaft sensor, air mass sensor and god knows what else. I have tried to find out who else has had the problem and they are many and the only common factor is that no one has found a resolution.

We were driving down the interstate in pa, when the airbag light came on. About ten minutes later the driver's side airbag discharged in my wife's face, then a few seconds later the other side went off. We pulled off the highway, got out of the car, raised the hood, unplugged the horns, started the engine and continued to our destination for 3 hours. As we continued up the highway the rain begun to enter the car and filled up the floorboard of the car mainly on the passenger side. We called our insurance company the next morning to get a claim started but it may not be covered, drove the car back home for over 800 miles and researched what to do. *Tr

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. This is another reason why I won't buy an american car again. *Tr

I have matrix multi-mile tires on my car the numbers on the tire are 95s p205/70r15mts. My car had been sitting for approx. 8 Hours and the right front tire exploded making a bit hole in my right front fender. The damages were almost 800.00 And I feel that the other ones may do the same. The tires were already on the car when I had bought it and they have a lot of tread on them. There is no explanation of this occurrence and I feel that the tire company should pay for the damages to my car and also replace my tires.*Tr
