IN MARCH 2016 I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTIFICATION FROM SAAB, VIA USPS. THE LETTER STATED: *YOUR VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN GM SAFETY RECALL 28810/SAAB SAFETY RECALL 15041. PARTS ARE NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE, BUT WHEN THEY ARE, SAAB OFFICIAL SERVICE CENTER WILL REPLACE THE AIR BAG INFLATOR AT NO CHARGE. ALSO, WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, YOU WILL RECEIVED ANOTHER LETTER ASKING ME TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO BE SERVICED. IT HAS NOW BEEN OVER NINE MONTHS AND I STILL HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THEM!

I RECEIVED THIS RECALL NOTICE IN MAY OF 2016. THE RECALL WAS ACTUALLY IN FEBRUARY OF 2016. I AM BEING TOLD NOW THAT THE PARTS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SOME TIME IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2017.

I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THE SUBJECT CAR BACK IN MARCH 2016. I AM BEING TOLD THAT THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO REPLACE THIS FAULTY AIR BAG. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY STILL CANNOT GIVE ME A TIME FRAME. I REALIZE THAT THIS RECALL IS VERY LARGE HOWEVER MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS CAR AND THIS MAKES ME VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. I HAVE ASKED IF THEY WOULD SUPPLY A LOANER CAR AND THEY SAID NO BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE THAT THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE. IF IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE WHY IS THERE A RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT OTHER RECOURSE I HAVE UNTIL THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE.
