The headlights will go off while driving. I was driving out of my gym parking lot at 10pm. On a icy night. They will not turn back on. However the highbeams, fog lights side markers work.

5 Fog Light Switch problem of the 2008 SAAB 9-7x

Failure Date: 03/05/2015

Mar 5, 2015 - backing up in driveway early morning, low beam headlights went out. Tried high beams, they didn't work either. Running lights and fog lights are on, just no low/high beams. Cannot leave for work in morning until it gets light, cannot stay out in evening because car has no lights. Local dealers say SAAB 2008 9-7x not in recall, but NHTSA site says otherwise, and SAAB cust service confirms. Cannot get local dealer to fix unless I pay first, and no fix guaranteed due to SAAB not having resolved issue yet. I should not have to fix this car if it's manufacturers poor design.

6 Fog Light Switch problem of the 2009 SAAB 9-7x

Failure Date: 01/01/2013

At first my head lights were cutting off at various times for various amounts of time, this happened for more than a year and I would have to turn on my bright lights while driving at night, wait for the head light to kick back in and turn off the bright lights. For the last 5 months I have had no head lights at all. I have bright lights, the orange running lights, indicator lights and fog lights. I have replaced the head light bulbs and they worked for 2 minutes and stopped working again.

7 Fog Light Switch problem of the 2007 SAAB 9-7x

Failure Date: 08/23/2011

We have headlights that randomly go out since we purchased this car. It was serviced twice for driver side front door module. I expressed concern both times about the lights. Received letter in Jan. /15 for headlight modular recall - but no parts available at that time. Now notified that my car is not part of that recall. Well the lights still go out periodically and we have to drive with the fog lights on. Thank god no one has been injured.
