2008 SAAB 9-3 Air Bags Problems

Hello, I know the Takata airbag has to be replaced on my car. However now I do live abroad, in Gothenburg Sweden in Europe. How do I get the replacement done? Should I go to GM here in Europe? Thanks

TAKATA RECALL THE WEBSITE FOR REPORTING YOUR REPAIR AND RECEIVING YOUR $25 MASTERCARD IS NONEXISTENT.

I GOT MY AIRBAGS REPAIRED AND RECEIVED A LETTER SAYING I WOULD RECEIVE A $25 MASTERCARD FOR GETTING THE REPAIR DONE. I TRIED TO GO TO THE WEBSITE AND IT IS NOT A FUNCTIONING WEBSITE. AFTER TAKING HOURS TO GET THE REPAIR DONE, NOW THIS. THE WEBSITE LISTED WAS WWW.TAKATAREPAIR.COM/SAAB. I JUST WANTED YOU TO BE AWARE OF THIS WITH EVERYTHING ELSE GOING ON. PLEASE ADVISE.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A NOTICE REFERENCING MY 2008 SAAB 9-3, INDICATING PARTS WERE AVAILABLE AND I WOULD BE ABLE TO SET AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAG TO BE REPLACED. I CALLED MURDOCK CHEVROLET BUICK GMC, THE AGENCY LISTED ON THE NOTICE, AND THEY SET UP AN APPOINTMENT FOR ME THIS MORNING. WHEN I ARRIVED, THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE PARTS AND SHOWED ME IN THEIR SYSTEM THAT BASED ON MY VIN NO PARTS WERE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. THE FACT THEY SET THE APPOINTMENT IS THEIR MISTAKE, BUT IT SEEMED REASONABLY CLEAR THAT THIS CADILLAC DEALERSHIP DID NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE PARTS NEEDED. SO THE STATEMENT THAT 'AIRBAG INFLATOR PARTS ARE READY '' WAS INCORRECT. PLEASE CLARIFY HOW I CAN REASONABLY GET MY SAAB FIXED. I LIVE IN NORTHERN UTAH SO DEALERSHIPS THAT CAN PROVIDE THIS SERVICE ARE LIMITED. THE NOTICED CARRIED A COPYRIGHT MARKING FROM GENERAL MOTORS, AND THE LOGOS OF THE NHTSA AND THE USDOT

TAKATA RECALL. MY VEHICLE IS AFFECTED BY THE CURRENT TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE RECEIVED NOTICE FROM SAAB MONTHS AND MONTHS AGO AND THERE IS STILL NO FIX AVAILABLE. I HAVE A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING PROJECTILE IN FRONT OF ME WHILE I DRIVE AND A REMEDY NEEDS TO COME SOONER THAN LATER. I DRIVE ABOUT 50,000 MILES A YEAR, I AM ALWAYS ON THE ROAD. WHEN I CONTACTED MY SAAB DEALER THEY TOLD ME THEY WON'T PUT ME IN A LOANER, THERE IS NO FIX, AND THEY THINK IT WILL BE A LONG TIME BEFORE WE HAVE ONE. BASED ON PREVIOUS RECALLS, I TEND TO BELIEVE THEM. I WOULD LIKE A LOANER CAR UNTIL THIS GETS SORTED OUT. I'M SURE REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR MY SAAB ARE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PRIORITY LIST AS ITS A LOW VOLUME MODEL IN THIS GIANT MESS.

IT HAS BEEN 6MO SO FAR SINCE THE RECALL AND STILL NO REPAIR AVAILABLE. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY FATAL DEFECT.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS NOTIFIED IN MAY THAT THE AIRBAGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT WERE NOT YET AVAILABLE I AM STILL WAITING

TAKATA RECALL. RECALL WAS ISSUED IN FEBRUARY 2016, SIX MONTHS AGO, AND PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO HAVE IT FIXED.

I WAS INFORMED BY GM/SAAB PHONE REPRESENTATIVE (800-955-9007) STEPHANIE LONG THAT BECAUSE IT IS GM'S POSITION THAT THE CAR IS SAFE (AND BY IMPLICATION THE RECALL IS A MISTAKE), GM WILL NOT PROVIDE A RENTAL CAR UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. GM IS OBVIOUSLY PLAYING THE ODDS BY DECIDING THAT ONE OR TWO FUTURE DEATH CLAIMS WILL BE LESS EXPENSIVE THAN PROVIDING REPLACEMENT VEHICLES.
