I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH MY CAR FOR A WHILE NOW AND COULDN'T FIGUREOUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. WHEN STARTED FROM A COLD START WOULD TAKE 2 OR 3 TIMES TO GET THE CAR RUNNING IT WOULD STALL OUT AND RUN REALLY ROUGH. AFTER A NUMBER OF TRIPS TO THE SHOP THAT MAINTAINS MY CAR THEY RESEARCHED ONLINE THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR SAABS WITH THIS ENGINE AND GM ISN'T WILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAD TO SPEND JUST UNDER 2000.00 TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED. I SEE THERE ARE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE POSTING ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM THE INTAKE VALVE ISSUE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH GM SUPPLIED INTAVE VALVES ON 2007-20011 SAABS WITH THE B207 MOTOR.

BOTH FRONT SUSPENSION COIL SPRINGS SNAPPED AND SAAB TOLD ME THAT GM WOULD NOT REPAY ME FOR THE REPAIRS THROUGH SPECIAL COVERAGE #15917.

NONE OF THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT ELECTRIC IS WORKING, AIR SUSPENSION DIED, NO LOW BEAM

TAKATA RECALL. THE RECALL ISSUE HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW YET NO REMEDY IS AVAILABLE FOR THIS MODEL VEHICLE. CONSIDERING THE DANGER AND GRAVITY BEHIND THIS KNOWN ISSUE, IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT A REMEDY IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR ALL VEHICLES TO ENSURE THE SAFETY THE PERSONS INVOLVED.

TAKATA RECALL: WHY DOES THE AIRBAG RECALL NOT INCLUDE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG FOR MY CAR? THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG WAS REPLACED YESTERDAY IN MY CAR PURSUANT TO THE RECALL, BUT NOT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. DOESN'T THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG PRESENT A DANGER TO THE PASSENGER IF IT SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYS?

TAKATA RECALL I WAS INFORMED IN A LETTER THAT GM IS WORKING ON AIRBAG RECALL FOR MY CAR. IT STATED THAT IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT MY AIRBAG CAN EXPLODE AND I MAY DIE. THEY ALSO SAID THAT IN ANOTHER LETTER THEY WILL SPECIFY WHEN THE REPLACEMENT PART IS AVAILABLE. IT HAS BEEN A WHILE AND I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING BACK SO I DECIDED TO DO MY OWN RESEARCH. AFTER CALLING LOCAL CADILLAC DEALER HERE IN NASHVILLE, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE ONLY PLACE IN TENNESSEE THAT STILL DOES SAAB WARRANTY WORK IN IN MEMPHIS. AFTER CALLING THAT DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THAT THE PARTS HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE FOR A WHILE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS MATTER SINCE MY LIFE CAN BE AT DANGER EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY CAR. I FEEL LIKE GM IS ACTING NEGLIGENT IN THIS CASE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY DO NOT PRODUCE SAABS ANYMORE, BUT THEY SHOULD STILL DO THEIR BEST TO SUPPORT THE PRODUCT THAT THEY HAVE PRODUCED.

TAKATA RECALL. MY SAAB WAS RECALLED. THIS VEHICLE WAS BUILT BY GM. I WAS TOLD BY SAAB THE ONLY PLACES THAT COULD FULFILL THE RECALL WERE >100 MILES AWAY. I CALLED THE FACILITY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STATE ~5 TIMES WITHOUT A RETURN CALL. I'D LIKE THE GET THIS FIXED AND I'M WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING THE CAR WITH THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS.
