SAAB Complaints

TAKATA RECALL. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, AND THE ONLY INFORMATION I HAVE RIGHT NOW IS THAT THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 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.

THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAGS. BUT THEY'RE STILL HASN'T BEEN A FIX. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING MY CAR WHEN THE AIRBAGS ARE DEFECTIVE, BECAUSE I WAS IN A TERRIBLE CAR ACCIDENT LAST NOVEMBER (IN A DIFFERENT VEHICLE) AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE BECAUSE OF THAT

TAKATA RECALL 7 MONTHS AND COUNTING NO RESPONSE, NO REPAIR. HOW MUCH LONGER AND WILL I HAVE TO WAIT AGAIN FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE REPAIR? WILL I HAVE TO DRIVE MY SAAB TO FLORIDA LIKE I HAD TO DO WITH MY FORD TO GET IT FIXED?

TAKATA RECALL. MY VEHICLE IS AFFECTED BY THE CURRENT TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE RECEIVED NOTICE FROM SAAB MONTHS AND MONTHS AGO AND THERE IS STILL NO FIX AVAILABLE. I HAVE A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING PROJECTILE IN FRONT OF ME WHILE I DRIVE AND A REMEDY NEEDS TO COME SOONER THAN LATER. I DRIVE ABOUT 50,000 MILES A YEAR, I AM ALWAYS ON THE ROAD. WHEN I CONTACTED MY SAAB DEALER THEY TOLD ME THEY WON'T PUT ME IN A LOANER, THERE IS NO FIX, AND THEY THINK IT WILL BE A LONG TIME BEFORE WE HAVE ONE. BASED ON PREVIOUS RECALLS, I TEND TO BELIEVE THEM. I WOULD LIKE A LOANER CAR UNTIL THIS GETS SORTED OUT. I'M SURE REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR MY SAAB ARE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PRIORITY LIST AS ITS A LOW VOLUME MODEL IN THIS GIANT MESS.

IT IS PUBLIC INFORMATION THAT TAKATA'S AIRBAGS CARRY A VERY HIGH RISK SINCE THE INFLATOR PROPELLANT DEGRADES TO THE POINT OF BRAKING THE STEEL HOUSING AND THROWING IT TO THE OCCUPANT CAUSING SEVERE INJURIES OR DEATH. IN SPITE OF ALL THESE FACTS, THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT INITIATED A RECALL AND DOES NOT PROVIDE ANSWERS AFTER SEVERAL CALLS TO THEIR CUSTOMER OFFICE. MY VEHICLE HAS A TAKATA AIRBAG ACCORDING TO NHTSA'S DATABASE, THE INFLATOR MUST BE REPLACED.

TAKATA RECALL NOTICE MARCH, 2016. TO DATE GENERAL MOTORS HAS MADE NO EFFORT TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE AIRBAG. I HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN HAVING THE VEHICLE REPAIRED.

TAKATA RECALL. SAAB VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AIRBAG, BUT MANUFACTURER IS OUT OF BUSINESS AND PREVIOUS PARENT COMPANY (GM) HAS NOT INDICATED ANY TIMEFRAME FOR FIXING THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. THIS CAR IS NOW GOING ON 5 YEARS WITH THIS DEFECTIVE AIRBAG IN PLACE. WHAT CAN BE DONE?

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE BEEN AWARE OF MY VEHICLE'S RECALL FOR GREATER THAN 6 MONTHS AND MY MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET PRESENTED A SAFE SOLUTION.
