SAAB Complaints

VEHICLE STALLS FOR NO REASON. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND DURING ROUTINE TRIPS THROUGH STREETS WITH STOP LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. HAS BEEN INSPECTED MY NUMEROUS MECHANICS AND CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM.

RECENTLY, WHILE STARTING THE CAR IT STARTED UP VERY ROUGH. A FEW WEEKS AGO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THERE WAS AN ISSUE IN CYLINDER 2. WE REPLACED ALL SPARK PLUGS AND COILS, AND THE ISSUE DID NOT GO AWAY. IN ADDITION, THE CAR HAS ALSO STARTED STALLING RANDOMLY. LUCKILY, I HAVEN'T BEEN DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED BUT IT'S NOW SHUT OFF ABOUT 7 OR 8 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH. BEEN WONDERING IF ITS INTAKE VALVES, FUEL PUMP, POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE, CAMSHAFT TIMING... SOUNDS LIKE LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR ISSUES AND HOPING MINES NOT BECAUSE OF THE INTAKE VALVES. PLEASE EMAIL [XXX]@HOTMAIL.COM IF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR ISSUES AND KNOW THE FIX. CAR IS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION.*JB

AIRBAG RECALL THERE WAS ONLY ONE STORE LISTED ON YOUR WEBSITE FOR THE RECALL, I CALLED THEM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DO NOT DO SAAB CARS

I HAVE CALLED VIKING SAAB AND REGISTERED ON THEIR WEB SITE MONTHS AGO TO HAVE MY AIRBAG REPLACED AS THEY ARE THE ONLY AUTHORIZED SAAB PLACE IN HOUSTON, TEXAS, TO REPLACE IT. THEY HAVE NOT CONTACTED ME. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. WHEN I CALLED THERE THEY TOLD ME TO REGISTER ON THEIR WEB SITE. I DID THAT AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED.

SUNROOF EXPLODED OUTWARD AND SPONTANEOUSLY.....TEMPERATURE WAS 60 DEGREES, DRIVING ON FREEWAY, GOING STRAIGHT, IT WAS IFF A ROCK HAD BEEN THROWN IN CAR BUT IT EXPLODED UP INSTEAD OF IN.

I GOT MY AIRBAGS REPAIRED AND RECEIVED A LETTER SAYING I WOULD RECEIVE A $25 MASTERCARD FOR GETTING THE REPAIR DONE. I TRIED TO GO TO THE WEBSITE AND IT IS NOT A FUNCTIONING WEBSITE. AFTER TAKING HOURS TO GET THE REPAIR DONE, NOW THIS. THE WEBSITE LISTED WAS WWW.TAKATAREPAIR.COM/SAAB. I JUST WANTED YOU TO BE AWARE OF THIS WITH EVERYTHING ELSE GOING ON. PLEASE ADVISE.

I HAVE OWNED MY 2008 SAAB 9-3 FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW AND I HAVE HAD AN ONGOING ROUGH RUNNING ISSUE THAT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. WHEN I START MY CAR UP IN THE MORNING IT RUNS VERY ROUGH. IHAVE GOTTEN IT DIAGNOSED AND IT IS MISFIRING DRAMATICALLY LIKE 6000 ON ONE CYLINDER AND 1081 ON ANOTHER . I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND HAD THIS PROBLEM DIAGNOSED, SEVERAL TIMES, AS HAVING BAD INTAKE VALVES. AFTER DOING MORE RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE COME TO FIND THIS IS A RATHER COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS SPECIFIC YEAR MAKE AND MODEL. THIS IS CONCERNING BECAUSE I HAVE HAD THIS REPAIR QUOTED AT OVER $2500.00. I AM VERY FAMILIAR WITH MANUFACTURER RECALLS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS TO SUBMIT A COMPLAINT IN ORDER FOR THIS PROBLEM TO BE COVERED UNDER A MANUFACTURER RECALL DUE TO FAULTY PARTS. THERE IS ONLY 80,000 MILES ON THE CAR!!!!!!!!!!!

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SAAB 9-3. THE CONTACT RECEIVED MORE THAN FOUR RECALL NOTIFICATIONS FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V063000 (AIR BAGS). THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED MICHAEL HOHL MOTOR COMPANY (3700 S CARSON ST, CARSON CITY, NV 89701, (775) 297-4689) AND AN UNKNOWN DEALER. BOTH DEALERS WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A NOTICE REFERENCING MY 2008 SAAB 9-3, INDICATING PARTS WERE AVAILABLE AND I WOULD BE ABLE TO SET AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAG TO BE REPLACED. I CALLED MURDOCK CHEVROLET BUICK GMC, THE AGENCY LISTED ON THE NOTICE, AND THEY SET UP AN APPOINTMENT FOR ME THIS MORNING. WHEN I ARRIVED, THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE PARTS AND SHOWED ME IN THEIR SYSTEM THAT BASED ON MY VIN NO PARTS WERE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. THE FACT THEY SET THE APPOINTMENT IS THEIR MISTAKE, BUT IT SEEMED REASONABLY CLEAR THAT THIS CADILLAC DEALERSHIP DID NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE PARTS NEEDED. SO THE STATEMENT THAT 'AIRBAG INFLATOR PARTS ARE READY '' WAS INCORRECT. PLEASE CLARIFY HOW I CAN REASONABLY GET MY SAAB FIXED. I LIVE IN NORTHERN UTAH SO DEALERSHIPS THAT CAN PROVIDE THIS SERVICE ARE LIMITED. THE NOTICED CARRIED A COPYRIGHT MARKING FROM GENERAL MOTORS, AND THE LOGOS OF THE NHTSA AND THE USDOT

2010 SAAB 9-3. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER HAVING THE RECALL COMPLETED THE KEY WOULD NO LONGER TURN IN THE IGNITION. THE CIM WAS REPLACED AND TWO NEW KEYS WERE HAD TO BE PROGRAMMED. TWO BROKEN FRONT COIL SPRINGS WERE DISCOVERED. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED A REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE COSTS ACCUMULATED FROM HAVING TO PURCHASE A RENTAL VEHICLE. UPDATED 10/03/2017*JS
