1995 OLDSMOBILE ACHIEVA

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A PRIVATE PARTY APPROXIMATELY 4-5 YEARS AGO, UNBEKNOWNST OF THE 2000 RECALL FOR IGNITION ISSUES WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE I HAVE REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH 3 OCCASIONS MOST CURRENTLY TODAY 3/24/2015. I PRESUME THERE IS A STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS ON THIS ISSUE. I AM CURIOUS DO I STILL HAVE ANY RE-COURSE IN GETTING THIS ISSUE RESOLVED OR MUST I OUT OF POCKET RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AS I CANNOT CONTINUE TO REPLACE THESE IGNITION SWITCHES. *TR

MY UNCLE WORKS IN THE AUTOBODY BUSINESS AND TOLD ME TO CONTACT OLDS TO SEE IF THEY COVER THE COST FOR A PAINT JOB SINCE I HAVE 3 SPOTS WHERE THE PAINT IS FLAKING OFF. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM AND SPOKE TO THE BODY SHOP DEPARTMENT AND ASKED IF THEY STILL WARRENTY THE PAINT. THE COUNTER PERSON SAID THAT THEY NEVER DID WARRENTY ANY PAINT ISSUES IN THE PAST AND THAT THERE IS NO CURRENT RECALLS REGARDING THE PAINT EITHER. I CALLED THE CONTACT NYMBER THAT YOU HAVE POSTED ON YOUR SITE AND GOT THE SAME SNUB NOSE BY THE BOOK REMARKS FROM THE REP ON THE PHONE.
