Takata recall. We received a written letter advising us that our car is part of the safety recall back in March 2016. Online, the recall date states February 3, 2016. We have checked and it the response is still " incomplete. Remedy not yet available". This is not being handled in a timely fashion, it has been an extremely long time for there still to be no remedy for this recall. I am nervous to drive the car in case we do have the defective airbag.

56 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 02/26/2014

2007 SAAB has issue with driver steering lock and driver air bag failure. When I driver on highway I get notice steering wheel lock. I have not have the wheel lock yet while I am driving on highway but I did complete stop several time when notice on dash board light up where the steering locks up after I stop and turn off the car. I brought in the car to gm dealer and error on system computer and they said no issue. For a 2008 automotive less than 100,000 miles to have air bag failure is very odd. Dealers want to replace the air bag which cost about $1300. Which is expensive for 6 to 7 year old car to have to fix possible gm manufacture defects and their own quality control.

57 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/20/2012

Air bag malfunction light came on. Was told by service station that they have seen many Saabs with the same issue. I have also seen many posts online with same issue. Was explained to me that it is always a module issue. To replace new could costs thousands. They have had all they have replaced rebuilt and many issues have been solved with this less expensive fix. I was advised to hold onto the service order by the garage because they have done alot of these and they will not be surprised if a recall occurs. Since SAAB has claimed bankruptcy does that mean nothing will be recalled? I see many complaints that warranties are not being honored. But as this is a huge safety issue would this be treated differently?this car cannot pass any safety inspection due to this issue. It only has 68,000 miles and has never given me any trouble. It just seems that this looks like a very common problem that should be addressed.
