See all problems of the 2006 SAAB 95 🔎.

Summary: in some vehicles, the driver airbag inflator may experience an alteration over time, which could lead to overaggressive combustion in the event of an air bag deployment. This condition could create excessive internal pressure when the air bag is deployed, which could result in the body of the inflator rupturing upon deployment. Safety risk: in the event of an inflator rupture, metal fragments could pass through the air bag cushion material, which may result in injury or death to vehicle occupants. Remedy: dealers will replace the driver airbag inflator on SAAB 9-3 and 9-5 vehicles subject to this recall, free of charge.

Takata recall. Received the first recall letter involving the takata airbag inflators back in may 24, 2016. The car dealer will not fix the problem unless I get the second letter which, as of yet, I haven't received.

Takata recall- I received a letter from gm in the mail in may 2016 regarding a recall for my airbag. I called the number they had referenced twice to find out about using a rental vehicle while waiting for the part. I was told that gm was not providing rental cars for those consumers who were effected. Seems odd to me that they send a letter stating they are concerned about my safety and that the inflator could rupture resulting in injury or death, yet do not offer a solution. This is not acceptable. Other car manufacturers have offered their customers a rental vehicle. Why not gm? I was told it was my decision if I wanted to continue driving my vehicle. Obviously I need to drive if I want to continue my job! there was no timeframe as to when the part would be available, so I guess I just have to cross my fingers every time I get in my car and hope that nothing happens.

Takata recall. 2/3/17 will mark 1 yr since notification of recall. Gm site says working quickly to obtain replacement parts. Use of adverb quickly is inappropriate. I need to know risk factor as my wife and I have a loaded pistol pointed at our heads every time we drive this vehicle. Should we disable the srs system? what is the geographical distribution of deaths and injuries from exploding inflators? are they really concentrated in hhas or is this just another of tanaka's lies? is fatality/injury distribution information available? if not, why not? if this airbag module needed replacement due to a non-deployment defect, would gm have the replacement repair parts available?.
