2007 SAAB 9-3 Complaints

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A NOTICE OVER ONE YEAR AGO (OCTOBER 2015) THAT THE DRIVER AIRBAG IN MY SAAB 9-3 2007 HAD BEEN RECALLED. AS OF TODAY, JANUARY 18, 2017, THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT IT IS TAKING THIS LONG TO BE FIXED AND I HAVE CONCERNS THAT THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

TAKATA RECALL - I WOULD LIKE MY AIR BAG TO BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR SINCE I RECEIVED A FIRST NOTICE.

INTERMITTENT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. COMES ON FOR A WHILE AND THEN GOES OFF. CANNOT LINK IT TO ANY VEHICLE ACTIVITY.

UPON ATTEMPTING TO START THE ENGINE, SOMETIMES IT RUNS VERY ROUGH AND THEN STALLS. REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO START THE ENGINE RESULT IN STALLS OR, FINALLY, RESULT IN THE ENGINE RUNNING VERY ROUGH AND THEN GRADUALLY SMOOTHER.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE A 2007 SAAB 9-3 WITH A RECALL FOR THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG. I CALLED GM SAAB AND THE DEALER AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AT THIS TIME TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THIS IS FOR THE DRIVER SIDE SO EVERY TIME I AM DRIVING I COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE THE AIRBAG KILL ME. IN SOME CARS IT IS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AND YOU COULD JUST HAVE THE PASSENGER SIT IN THE BACK BUT MINE IS FOR THE DRIVER SIDE. PLEASE GIVE ME SOME HELP IN THIS SITUATION BECAUSE THEY WON'T REPAIR IT AND THEY WON'T TAKE THE CAR IF I TRADE IT IN FOR A NEW CAR. ALL I HAVE IS A DANGEROUS AIRBAG ON THE DRIVER SIDE EVERY TIME I DRIVE.

I HAVE A TAKEDA AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE FROM FEB 2016 AND HAVE NO IDEA WHEN IT WILL BE REPLACED. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL DEATHS ASSOCIATED WITH THESE AIRBAGS AND I AM DRIVING AROUND IN A POTENTIALLY DEADLY CAR!
