1995 BUICK LESABRE

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.

BOTH (DRIVER AND PASSENGER) FRONTAL AIRBAGS ON MY 1995 BUICK LESABRE DEPLOYED WITHOUT REASON ON JUNE 27TH AND 28TH 2015. ON THE 27TH, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT. NO ONE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THOUGH IT SPILLED SODA OVER THE BACK SEAT. ON THE 28TH THE DRIVER AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON I76, GOING ABOUT 70 MPH. MY RIGHT WRIST WAS INJURED AND IS RED AND SWOLLEN BUT I DO NOT THINK IT'S BROKEN. THE HORN THEN STAYED ON AND I EVENTUALLY PULLED OVER AND REMOVED THE FUSE FOR IT. (BTW WHICH DUMB ASS PUT THE HORN ON THE SAME FUSE AS THE POWER LOCKS AND INTERIOR LIGHT?) IN NEITHER CASE WAS THERE A COLLISION OF ANY KIND THAT CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO GO OFF. I NOTICED AN AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD AFTER THE FIRST AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, COULD HAVE BEEN ON BEFOREHAND BUT I DIDN'T NOTICE IT UNTIL AFTER.

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
