SAAB Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SAAB 9-3. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V063000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL: TO DATE, THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. ARE THEY WAITING FOR MORE PEOPLE TO DIE? THE RECALL DATE OF THIS OPEN RECALL WAS IN FEBRUARY 2016, WHICH IS NEARLY A YEAR AGO. THIS FAILURE TO REMEDY THIS "SAFETY RISK"/DEADLY PROBLEM NEARLY NINE MONTHS DEFINITELY QUALIFIES AS A NOT BEING REMEDIED IN A TIMELY MANNER. PLEASE ADVISE.

THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS HAVE TO BE REPLACED ON A CONSTANT BASIS. ONE HEADLIGHT WOULD GO OUT SOON AS YOU FIX IT THE OTHER HEADLIGHT WOULD GO OUT. HOWEVER NOW THE ISSUE HAS BECOME WHERE WHEN I LEAVE TO GO DRIVE SOMEWHERE AT NIGHT MY LIGHTS DON'T EVEN COME ON AT ALL AND I'M FORCED TO HAVE TO USE MY BRIGHTS IN ORDER TO DRIVE HOME. AT FIRST IT WAS JUST A BOTHERSOME THING BUT HAND A LITTLE BIT ANNOYING TO KEEP HAVING TO REPLACE THE LIGHT BULBS. NOW IT'S NO LONGER AND ANNOYANCE, IT HAS BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE AND ALSO POSSIBLY AN ISSUE OF BEING PULLED OVER FOR DRIVING WITH MY BRIGHTS ON. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM MY MOM ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO AND EVEN SHE RECENTLY TOLD ME SHE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WHEN SHE OWNED IT AS WELL APPARENTLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 SAAB SAAB 9-3. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT ANY REAR IMPACT OR WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR LONG TIME FOR AN AIR BAG REPLACEMENT FROM GENERAL MOTORS WHERE I PURCHASED MY CAR.

I HAVE WHAT I'VE SEARCHED IS THE "COLD START PROBLEM". WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE IN COLD WEATHER, IT TAKES IT A TRY OR TWO TO START, BUT UPON IGNITION, IT SPUTTERS FOR A MINUTE OR TWO AND ONCE IT WARMS, IT RUNS PERFECTLY FINE. FROM READING REVIEWS ONLINE, IT SOUNDS LIKE MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS AND IT IS THE RESULT OF THE VALVES GOING BAD, MEANING I NEED A WHOLE NEW REBUILD DONE. CAR ONLY HAS 127K MILES ON IT AND IS IN MINT CONDITION. PER THE NUMBER OF CASES I'VE READ ONLINE ABOUT THIS, IT SOUNDS LIKE THE '07-'08 MODELS WERE THE ONE'S THAT WERE DEFECTIVE IN MY CASE. BOUGHT THE CAR RECENTLY FROM A FRIEND WHO THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A FUEL PUMP ISSUE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED, WHICH I'D PAY THE FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR THAT, NO PROBLEM. BUT NOW LOOKING AT CLOSE TO $3,000 TO HAVE FIXED??

TAKATA RECALL - I WAS APPRISED BY MAIL THAT THE AIRBAGS ON MY SAAB 9-3 NEED TO BE REPLACED, BUT THAT THE REMEDY IS NOT YET AVAILABLE. EIGHT MONTHS HAVE PASSED AND THE REMEDY IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. WHY MUST I CONTINUE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITH AIRBAGS THAT MAY CAUSE INJURY OR WORSE? WHEN WILL REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS BE AVAILABLE?

TAKATA RECALL RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE. THERE IS NO REMEDY YET AVAILABLE AND I HAVE A 2007 VEHICLE WHICH SHOULD BE SERVICED SOON
