ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS ON MY 1994 LESABRE WILL NOT UNLOCK THE DOORS. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND AS SOON AS I STARTED TO DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM HE LAUGHED AND SAID IT WOULD COST $180 PER DOOR TO FIX, AND THAT HE HAD DONE MANY OF THEM. MY SISTER AND A CO-WORKER ALSO HAVE LESABRES AND THEY BOTH HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. BUICK HAS APPARENTLY ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *NLM
