Hello and welcome to Just answer.com, Super mechanic here. About your vehicle.

 

I would like to say that the life span of an ignition switch is at least 5 years, however, that is not always the case. That would also depend on the brand and quality of the new part.

 

What kind of vehicle is it and what type of problems are you having now with it?

Customer replied 1014 days and 10 hours ago.

I am not having any problems with it now. I took it to the shop for another reason and the tech says that I need a new ignition switch. This switch was put on at the cadillac dealership where I bought the car from. It is a 1996 Cadillac Seville SLS. The new switch was put on in June 2006.

It may be that the tech at the shop had some trouble turning the key and that is why they say it needs a new ignition lock cylinder. However, if you are not having any problems with it at this time, it will be hard to say for sure.
