general problems of the 2007 SAAB 9-3 - part 1

I called elkins Chevrolet in marlton NJ as listed on my recall form. I called them two times. The first time they told me the part is not available. I then received a few more recall notices still listing them as the service center. I called again an was then told the only work of chevrolets. Both turned out to be bold faced lies!.

Tl- takata recall- the contact owns a 2007 SAAB 93. The contact stated that the recall notice for NHTSA campaign number:16v063000(air bag) was received. After contacting the dealer and malcolm cunningham Chevrolet(2031 gordon hwy, augusta GA. ) the contact was informed that the dealer did not service the SAAB vehicles. The contact had not experienced a failure. The manufacturer was not notified. (parts distrubution disconnect) jft.

Takata recall - received a letter stating that I could go online for a $25 mastercard reward card after I completed repairs on the SAAB. I completed the repairs. Tried to access the website but it was not a working website. Unable to apply for the reward card.

Airbag recall there was only one store listed on your website for the recall, I called them and they told me that they do not do SAAB cars.

There are multiple issues, as follows, but our concern is that our son has tried repeatedly to get support by calling the numbers on the post cards. We have been unable to get any service as a result of the calls and conversations. He lives on the island of kauai, west of oahu. #1: we must ship the car at our expense if we expect it to get serviced. Gm and SAAB will not pay for that shipping over or back. They will not pay for a rental car, and regardless of the recall mandate, they still send out bogus information. (example: bay area SAAB is no longer a SAAB dealer in san francisco � but if they were our son would have to pay the transportation over and back to the mainland. ) #2: I have also called, and finally got good advice from the gm 800 number representative on the phone who referred me to a point of contact on oahu. There currently is no SAAB dealership in hawaii, but we have used the former SAAB dealership (a former owner, has maintained the phone number: 808-735-2488) for parts in past years. Fortunately for SAAB owners, this individual has done all within her power to help oahu owners get the recall but it has been a nightmare for her as well to make all the necessary arrangements. She is a �poster adult� for responsibility in small business. She and I have exchanged phone calls and e-mails, and I understand that she too is trying to get gm/SAAB to either pay for off-oahu SAAB owners to ship their cars over and back to the service provider has arranged for on oahu, or to pay to have qualified techs travel to out islands to service the cars. So far � no action tbmk. And she is awaiting months for payment for the parts and service provided to oahu owners already. We are requesting a congressional inquiry via congresswoman tulsi gabbard at the same time as this request to inform nthsb that from our perspective, the recall is failing.

In March 2017 I received a recall for this vehicle. Have followed up several times (with both SAAB and gm) and am still told that no parts are available. The vehicle was purchased and stays in florida and it is my understanding that warmer climates are the highest risk areas for injury by defective air bags when inflated. This should have been enough time to handle the recall and I am concerned about the potential danger and would like an update from NHTSA. Thank you.

Takata recall I received a notice over one year ago (October 2015) that the driver airbag in my SAAB 9-3 2007 had been recalled. As of today, January 18, 2017, there is still no remedy available. It is unacceptable that it is taking this long to be fixed and I have concerns that the manufacturer will not be held accountable.

Takata recall. 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. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

The document states that the parts to repair my vehicle are not currently available. This is from March 2016. How long am I supposed to pay for a vehicle that has a potentially lethal defect and has not been addressed. The millions of other recalls appear to have solution and those owners are still waiting. This makes me believe that they have not even had the time to manufacture a solution for my make and model. How long is an acceptable time to play russian roulette every day I commute to work. I am not even able to drive my 10 week old son anywhere in this vehicle. What are our options? if I wait to file this until I have an accident there is a good chance I will be dead and unable to file it.

Takata recall. I received notice that my 2007 SAAB 93 is subject to the takata air bag recall several weeks ago but was told that parts were not available. I would like to know when they will be available and what to do about it in the meantime. Is the car not safe to drive? would it be better to DE-activate the air bag? I have read that heat and moisture can cause the problem. Is it the combination of the two? is one more of a factor than the other? I also own a Honda crv that is subject to the recall and Honda north America is providing a rental car until parts are available (in July). Shouldn't gm do the same if there is real risk of injury or death associated with driving a vehicle with this defect?.
