1 Turn Signal problem of the 2011 SAAB 95

Failure Date: 10/17/2018

Premature wear (burn-out) of the halogen-style light bulbs in each of the rear turn signal and brake lights (the halogen lights serve as both a turn signal and brake light). The halogen lights appear to burn out every 4-6 months. The bulbs are creating excessive heat within the light housing and melting/fusing to the plastic housing. I believe this is potentially a fire risk. There is premature rust forming on the trunk lid aswell.

2 Turn Signal problem of the 2011 SAAB 95

Failure Date: 11/01/2015

Since 35,000 miles, I am constantly getting notification errors to a replace rear turn signal with each usage of it. Simultaneously, the signal blinking is overaggressive, announcing its malfunction to my fellow road companions and traffic authorities who then politely tell me multiple time a day that my turn signal is about to go out. Although I appreciate this, I have replaced the bulb multiple times to rule out faulty bulbs. Within a couple of days, the issue starts all over again. The turn signal blinks at 160+ clicks per minute versus the accepted 80 cpm. The blub and socket are melting together. I have looked at forums and many are have this problem with this make and model, considering using turn signals is a requirement for maneuvers we make in our vehicles and to keep ourselves, and others, especially our passengers, our loved ones safe on the road, this is something that should be recalled and fixed.
