2006 SAAB 9-3 Air Bags Problems

Warning message that airbag is not working. Loud hissing sound immediately in front of dashboard, as if air is escaping. We cannot drive the car for fear of the airbag inflating. We are going to have to towed to a repair shop to be fixed and will keep all paperwork.

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND A DEALERSHIP TO FIX MY RECALL BUT GENERAL MOTORS STATED THEY DO NOT FIX IT. I AM RECEIVING CALLS AND LETTERS EVERY OTHER WEEK. WHO WILL FIX THIS ISSUE ??? I AM LOCATED IN THE WILKES BARRE PA 18705 AREA. PLEASE ADVISE THANK YOU

TAKATA RECALL, I TOOK MY 06 SAAB 93 AERO INTO BELLEVUE WASHINGTON CADILLAC DEALERSHIP TO GET MY AIR BAG RECALL FIXED, AFTER I HOT THE RECALLED AIRBAG REPLACED THEY RESET MY ECM AND NOW MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON INTERMITTENTLY AND DRAINS MY BATTERY DEAD OVER NIGHT! I HAVE CALLED BELLEVUE CADILLAC AND THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE DAMAGE THEY DID TO MY CAR BY REPLACING THE RECALLED AIRBAG WITH ANOTHER BAD AIRBAG! THEY LISTED IN THEIR COMPUTERS THAT THEY FIXED MY CAR AND NEVER DID SO NOW I AM STUCK WITH ANOTHER BAD FAULTY AIRBAG AND NOW A BATTERY DRAIN ISSUE FROM IT. MY CAR HAS BEEN LITERALLY UNDRIVEABLE SINCE THE DAY THEY REPLACED THE RECALLED AIRBAG. THE CAR ALSO HAS A FAILED GAS GAUGE DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES FROM THE FACTORY WHICH WAS NEVER RECALLED, THE FUEL SENDING UNITS ARE BAD AND NEVER WORKED PROPERLY SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED WHICH ALOT IF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME SAABS HAVE EXPERIENCED ALL OVER THE WORLD!

TAKATA INFLATOR -- TOOK CAR IN TO DEALER TO HAVE THE AIRBAG REPLACED BUT DEALER SAID THAT THIS CAR HAS A DIFFERENT MODEL AIRBAG THAT WAS ONLY USED ON A FEW CARS FOR A MONTH A SO BY SAAB, SO IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE REPLACED. HOWEVER, WE KEEP GETTING RECALL NOTICES ALL THE TIME AND I'M AFRAID THIS WILL AFFECT RESALE OF CAR. CAN THIS BE CONFIRMED?

I HAVE TRIED TO HAVE THE GM AIRBAG RECALL FOR MY 2006 SAAB 9-3 SERVICED BY ALL PASO ROBLES AND SAN LUIS OBISPO CHEVROLET, GM, AND CADILLAC DEALERS. ALL HAVE REFUSED TO DO THE WORK BECAUSE THE CLAIM NOT TO HAVE A SAAB CERTIFIED MECHANIC. THE CLOSEST DEALER WITH SAAB CERTIFIED MECHANIC IS BUNNIN CADILLAC IN SANTA BARBARA, A 240 MILE ROUND TRIM FROM OUR HOUSE. DESPITE THREE PHONE CALLS TO BUNNIN WE HAVE STILL BEEN UNABLE TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE REPAIR OR EVEN CONFIRM THAT THEY ARE WILLING AND ABLE TO DO THE WORK. THE CHALLENGE AND BURDEN OF GETTING THIS RECALL WORK PERFORMED HAS PROVEN IMPOSSIBLE SO FAR. WHEN WILL GM TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND MADE THE RECALL FIX TO MY SAAB REASONABLY AVAILABLE?

TAKATA RECALL - I CONTACTED ALBERIC COLON AUTO SALES AT 787 793 2222 IN PUERTO RICO AS MENTIONED IN THE LETTER SENT TO ME AND I WAS TOLD THAT THEY CAN NOT PERFORMED THE RECALL IN MY CAR BECAUSE THEY WONT GET PAID SINCE THEY DONT WORKED IN SAAB

ALSO CONTACTED GUSWEILLER CADILLAC IN WASHINGTON COURT HOUSE, OH AND TOLD THE SAME, BUT THEY WERE VERY CORDIAL ABOUT IT. FINALLY, I CONTACTED CAMARGO CADILLAC IN CINCINNATI, OH AND THEY WERE OVER THE TOP NICE AND ON TOP OF THINGS. THEY WERE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ASSIST WITH THE RECALL AND IT HAS NOW BEEN COMPLETED.

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS NOTIFIED BY LETTER IN MARCH OF 2016 THAT MY SAAB WAS PART OF THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL AND THAT I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN AND WHERE TO TAKE MY CAR FOR AIR BAG REPLACEMENT. I WAS ALSO NOTIFIED IN THAT LETTER THAT PARTS WERE NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE AND I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN THEY WERE AVAILABLE AND WHAT SERVICE CENTER I WOULD NEED TO TAKE THE CART TO FOR REPAIRS. SOMETIME IN APRIL 2017, I WAS NOTIFIED THAT DORITO BROS SAAB, IN WALNUT CREEK, CALIFORNIA WOULD BE DOING THE AIR BAG REPLACEMENT AND I WOULD LIKELY BE CONTACTED WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH ABOUT SCHEDULING THE REPAIRS. I DID NOT HEAR BACK AND I TRIED TO CONTACT DORITO BROS. SAAB AND IT APPEARS THEY ARE NO LONGER IN BUSINESS. I TRIED CALLING THE "TOLL-FREE VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE, (1.888.327.4236 OR 1.800.424.9153) AND HAVE GOT NOTHING BUT A BUSY SIGNAL. WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT GETTING THE AIRBAG REPLACED IN MY 2006 SAAB 93? THE CAR IS OUR MAIN SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SAAB 9-3. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V063000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED DUE TO THE NEAREST SERVICE CENTER BEING TWO STATES AWAY. EISINGER MOTORS, THE NEAREST GMC DEALER, WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WERE NOT PERFORMING ANY SAAB TAKATA AIR BAG REPLACEMENTS, AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO GO TO THE NEAREST SERVICE CENTER.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SAAB 9-3. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V063000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER SENT A POST CARD INDICATING THAT THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE AND TO CONTACT THE DEALER. THE DEALER SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AND CONFIRMED THE APPOINTMENT THE DAY BEFORE THE REPAIR DATE. TWENTY MINUTES BEFORE THE REPAIR APPOINTMENT, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE DEALER (SCHUMACHER AUTO GROUP, 3001 OKEECHOBEE BLVD, WEST PALM BEACH, FL 33409, (561) 609-3445) DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN ELK GROVE, GMC AND ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THEY STATE THEY DO NOT SERVICE SAAB VEHICLES. I TOLD THEM THAT GMC IS RESPONSIBLE FOR IT AND THEY STATED THERE IS ONLY ONE LOCATION THAT WE COULD TAKE IT TO IN CENTRAL CALIFORNIA BY FRESNO IF I WANT TO GET IT FIXED. WHICH IT WILL BE AN UNDUE HARDSHIP. I ALSO TOLD THEM THAT OUR CAR WAS SPILLING GAS DUE TO AN ORIGINAL FAULTY UNIT. THEY STATED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THAT HOWEVER, IT SOMEHOW DOESN'T SHOW ON MY VIN. SEVERAL TIMES WE RAN OUT OF GAS AND OUR KIDS GOT GASOLINE ON THEIR CLOTHES. WE CALLED 4 DEALERSHIPS AND ALL OF THEM STATE TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. WHEN I OPEN THE HOOD I SEE GMC BRAND ALL OVER THE CAR. I BELIEVE GMC IS DISCRIMINATING AGAINST PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND NOT ACCOMMODATING ME. I TOLD THEM I CANNOT DRIVE 300 MILES, I HAVE TO HAVE SOMEONE TAKE IT BECAUSE I HAD A STROKE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE GMC BUT THEY ARE NOT. IF THEY ARE USING THAT AS AN EXCUSE THEN THIS RECALL COMMITTEE SHOULD INVESTIGATE INTO THIS AND SANCTION THEM. AT THIS POINT, BECAUSE OF SAFETY RECALL IS NOT AVAILABLE TO GET IT DONE, I CANNOT SAFELY DRIVE WITH MY KIDS. 2 OF MY KIDS ARE SPECIAL NEEDS KIDS. AT THIS POINT, I WOULD LIKE GMC TO REIMBURSE ME THE FULL CURRENT VALUE OF THE VEHICLE FOR THEIR FAILURE TO DO THE NEEDED RECALL REPAIRS. IF GMC MADE A FAULTY BUSINESS CHOICE WHEN THEY TOOK OVER THE SAAB'S THE CUSTOMERS SHOULD NOT SUFFER. GMC CONSTANTLY MAKES ME FEEL THAT EVEN THOUGH70% OF THE VEHICLE IS GMC I DON'T HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS AS GMC CUSTOMERS. CURRENTLY, THE BLUE BOOK VALUE IS $6500. I'M STOPPING PAYING REGISTRATION IN HOPES TO GET THIS VEHICLE EITHER TRADED IN FOR ANOTHER ONE BY GMC OR REFUNDED. SINCE A RECALL IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE AN UNDUE HARDSHIP UPON, GMC IS DEVISING AND SCHEMING AND CHANGING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES TO DISCOURAGE CUSTOMERS TO GETTING SERVICE RECALLS TO SAABS.

TAKATA RECALL I'M COMPLAINING THAT I HAVE AN OLDER CAR, 2006, AND HAVEN'T HEARD FROM GM REGARDING REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAG. I WANT TO SELL THE CAR BUT DO NOT WANT TO PASS THE DANGER ON TO ANOTHER PERSON. MAKE GM MOVE QUICKLY TO REPLACE MY AIR BAG. I AM CONCERNED THE AIRBAG WILL BLOW UP EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR.

IT IS KNOWN THAT THE INFLATOR MAY EXPLODE IN THE DRIVERS AIRBAG, BUT WHAT OF THE OTHER (7?) AIRBAGS? AREN'T THEY INFLATED WITH THE SAME CANISTER FROM TAKATA? ISN'T THERE THE SAME POTENTIAL FOR INJURY OR DEATH? WHAT RESULT IS THERE OF THE TESTING OF THOSE AIRBAGS?

I WAS INFORMED OF THE AIR BAG RECALL IN FEBRUARY. TO DATE THERE HAS BEEN NO ACTION TO REMEDY -- REPLACE THE FAULTY PART. THIS IS AN EVERYDAY CAR WHICH CARRIES TWO PRE-SCHOOLERS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN THE AIR BAGS WILL BE REPLACED AND WHAT OTHER OPTIONS I HAVE GIVEN THE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH CLAIMS FROM THIS RECALL. IT'S BEEN THREE MONTHS. THANK YOU *TR

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

I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT THAT ON TUESDAY, JANUARY 29, 2013, I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WHICH DESTROYED THE FRONT END OF MY CAR. THE CAR WAS SUBSEQUENTLY DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY. IN SPITE OF THE SIGNIFICANT IMPACT, MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. TO CONFIRM THAT THIS WAS A MALFUNCTION WITH THE CAR, THE CAR'S INFORMATION SCREEN DENOTED AN AIRBAG MALFUNCTION. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE MESSAGE ON THE INFORMATION SCREEN IF NEEDED. MY FEAR IS THAT THIS IS AN ERROR ON MORE CARS THAN MINE AND THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO FOR ALL 2006 SAAB VEHICLES. *TR
