1995 OLDSMOBILE ACHIEVA Electrical System Problems

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
