TAKATA RECALL: I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL AND I HAVE CONTACTED MY CERTIFIED DEALER AND THE SAAB HOTLINE AND THERE IS STILL NOT A RESOLUTION NOR CAN THEY GIVE ME A TIME FRAME AS TO WHEN THEY WILL RECEIVE THE PARTS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND THEY HAVE GONE BEYOND A REASONABLE TIME FRAME. I DRIVE A LOT OF MILES DAILY AND NERVOUS.
