2006 Saab 9-3 Complaint Log

TAKATA RECALL -- I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY CAR AND IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE SAAB CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER. I SPOKE WITH LISA WHO TOLD ME "DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE RECALL NOTICE. THERE REALLY ISN'T A PROBLEM." I THEN CONTACTED GM CORPORATE AND SPOKE WITH RANETTE IN THE GM EXECUTIVE OFFICE. SHE REFUSED TO TALK WITH ME AND KEPT REPEATING "I DO APOLOGIZE. I DO NOT HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS MATTER." I ASKED TO SPEAK WITH HER SUPERVISOR AND SHE THREATENED TO "DISCONNECT THE CALL". I TOLD HER NOT TO DISCONNECT THE CALL AND ASKED FOR HER SUPERVISOR'S NAME. THEN SHE PUT ME ON HOLD FOR ONE HOUR AND FORTY MINUTES. NOTHING IS BEING DONE. NOTHING IS BEING HANDLED AND I AM BEING TOLD THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE. VALIDATED NEWS REPORTS SHOW THAT PEOPLE ARE BEING KILLED BY THIS DEFECT. I DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT AND NEED AN ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION OR NEED TO HAVE THE AIRBAG DISABLED.

"TAKATA RECALL" - I'M VERY UPSET AND ANGERED THAT THE GM SAFETY RECALL 28810/SAAB SAFETY RECALL 15041INFORMS ME OF THE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS BUT PROVIDES NO REMEDY! ACCORDING TO THE RECALL LETTER THAT I RECEIVED AND VERIFICATION FROM THE GM DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD ME MY VEHICLE, THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO ORDER AND GM WON'T PROVIDE FOR A LOANER OR RENTAL CAR! THEREFORE I'M EXPECTED TO RENT A CAR UNTIL THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AT MY OWN EXPENSE OR RISK INJURY OR DEATH TO ME, MY WIFE, MY CHILDREN OR ANY OTHER OCCUPANTS FOR A POTENTIALLY 3-12 MONTH PERIOD OF TIME. HOW IS THIS ACCEPTABLE OR ALLOWED BY MY GOVERNMENT SAFETY ADMINISTRATION? I'M MORE FAMILIAR THAN SOME OTHERS AS MY WIFE'S 2010 HONDA CRV WAS RECALLED JUST LAST WEEK FOR THE SAME AIR BAG CONCERNS, BUT IN HONDA'S CASE, THEY HAVE PROVIDED A RENTAL CAR AT NO COST TO MY WIFE EVEN THOUGH THEY DON'T EXPECT REPLACEMENT PARTS TO BE AVAILABLE UNTIL LATER THIS SUMMER 2016! A FOREIGN MANUFACTURER STEPPING UP BUT AN AMERICAN INSTITUTION, GENERAL MOTORS, TURNS THEIR CHEEK AND EXHIBITS UNCONSCIBLE BLINDNESS TO OUR PREDICAMENT. PLEASE GET INVOLVED OR AT LEAST EXPLAIN TO ME HOW I'M SUPPOSED TO ACCEPT WHAT GM IS COMMUNICATING TO ME IS A CUSTOMER AND A U.S. CITIZEN! THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TAKATA RECALL........WHEN IS A FIX GOING TO BE FOUND. BEEN WAITING FOREVER ! ITS RIDICULOUS ! GM SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE

TAKATA RECALL. I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD BE READY AND COMPLETING THESE RECALLS IN A MUCH MORE TIMELY FASHION. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND OWNERS SHOUKD NOT HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE WORRY ABOUT THESE POTENTIALLY LETHAL AIRBAGS!

TAKATA RECALL-- I HAVE HEARD NOTHING AS TO WHEN THIS WILL BE PERFORMED

TAKATA RECALL

I WAS DRIVING CAR ON MIDDLE LANE ON HIGHWAY APPROACHING TRAFFIC, WHEN MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THIS WAS AFTER GETTING A COMPLETE TUNE UP INCLUDING OIL CHANGE, NEW BATTERIES AND TIRES. TOWED CAR TO REPAIR SHOP AND AFTER REPAIR, THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON AND THEN THERE WAS SMELL OF GAS AND CAR CONTINUED TO STALL. TOOK CAR BACK TO REPAIR SHOP, WHERE THE FUEL INJECTOR WAS REPLACED AND GAS SMELL WAS ELIMINATED. BUT ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON AND CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AGAIN. TOOK IT TO REPAIR SHOP, YET AGAIN. THIS TIME, STARTER WAS CHANGED AND MECHANIC CLAIMS THAT A NEW ECU/ECM IS NEEDED FOR ENGINE BUT PART FOR 2006 MODEL HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED AND IS NOW RUNNING ON 2004 ECI/ECM AND ENGINE LIGHT STILL REMAINS ON AND STARTED IS A BIT ROUGH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SAAB 9-3. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE SEAT BELT VIOLENTLY SEIZED ACROSS THE CONTACT'S CHEST CAUSING HER TO LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 163,000.

I WENT TO HAVE A RECALL ADDRESSED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 14V318000. THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT HAVE PARTS AND STATED THAT THEY MAY NOT ARRIVE FOR SOME TIME. THERE WAS A VERY LIMITED KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE RECALL AND I WAS FORCED TO LEAVE WITHOUT HAVING MY SEATBELT REPAIRED. I BELIEVE IT IS VERY DANGEROUS OWNING A CONVERTIBLE WITH A SEAT BELT THAT HAS A MANUFACTURED DEFECT AND I WOULD LIKE MY ISSUE RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SAAB 9-3. WHILE PARKED, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT FAILED TO RETRACT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE OF WHAT PART NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON MY SEAT BELT IN AUGUST 2014, BUT THEY HAVE NOT YET INSTALLED A NEW SEAT BELT IN TO TAKE THE PLACE OF A DEFECTIVE SEATBELT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SAAB 9-3. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE AND JERKED INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 800. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

REAR PASSENGER SEAT BELT HAS LOCKED UP WHILE SEAT BELT IS EXTENDED OUT. SAME EXACT ISSUE IN FRONT SEAT HAS BEEN RECALLED BUT SINCE THIS IS THE BACK SEAT I'M TOLD THIS IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. *TR
