4 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2019

My car was repaired at patrick Cadillac in schaumburg, but still the "airbag" light is on at the dashboard. The mechanic old me that the light is not part of the recall. Since the light is on, that means that there is a problem with the safety airbag. Another issue is with the abs. Whenever I step on the breaks, the abs shakes as if it's bouncing on the breaks, and the whole car shakes. Is there a problem with the abs systems? I thought my breaks needed changing, and all four break pads were changed, but the problems persists.

Failure Date: 03/19/2016

Takata recall - we were informed of the recall nearly a year ago but have not been able to replace the bag. We have not used our front set on a regular basis due to this recall and have been forced to rent cars when we need to seat 5 passengers. This expense is burdensome, and we need an immediate remedy to ensure the safety of our family and our pasengers.

13 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 11/06/2015

I am original owner of this vehicle. I received airbag recall statement in July 2015 and have heard nothing further. I contacted SAAB customer assistance by email and was told no parts are available and they don't know when they will be. I am concerned that I have been driving an unsafe car until July and then unable to use front passenger seat due to recall statement regarding it being unsafe. I do not think this length of time or lack of commitment towards repair is acceptable.

Failure Date: 08/27/2015

After receiving NHTSA recall no. 15v-323, an appointment was made at an authorize service center. After 4 hours of waiting, the dealer indicated no replacement parts are available in the entire country. When asked for a loaner car, the request was denied and my car was returned. The recall notice indicates the front passenger seat should not be occupied ~ this is extremely disruptive to my family. I am not satisfied with gm/sitton response to this recall notice and attempt to pass liability and inconvenience to my family.

23 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/15/2015

Takata recall: I received notice of the recall and safety warning in July (although the recall was issued in may) of 2015. Since then I have received no update and by direction of the recall notice and safety concerns, I have not been able to use the front passenger seat of my vehicle. For the past seven months this has been an extreme inconvenience and has greatly reduced the usability and value of my vehicle. I would like to be compensated for this with a temporary replacement vehicle until the recall repairs can be made.

27 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2015

Takata recall 1. My car is affected by the takata recall, but is not listed in the most recent update on the NHTSA site. 2. More importantly, it has been 5 months since I received a letter stating the issue and telling me not to have anyone sit in the passenger seat. This is difficult to do with a four seat car and a family of 4. I have a potential bomb in my car that may shoot shrapnel out and I can not get it replaced or removed. This is completely unacceptable. Why can this not be disabled or removed (per an email from SAAB)? not having anyone sit in the front seat and risking anyone else in the rear seats and driver seat is not a practical solution.
