Takata recall. I have a 2007 saab 9-3 with a recall for the driver side airbag. I called gm saab and the dealer and they keep telling me there is nothing they can do at this time to resolve the issue. This is for the driver side so every time I am driving I could potentially have the airbag kill me. In some cars it is for the passenger side and you could just have the passenger sit in the back but mine is for the driver side. Please give me some help in this situation because they won't repair it and they won't take the car if I trade it in for a new car. All I have is a dangerous airbag on the driver side every time I drive.

Takata recall the problem has not been remedied in a timely manner. I cannot drive the vehicle as it is. Recall was may 11 2016. The deadly airbag was placed in the car initially during manufacture.

The document states that the parts to repair my vehicle are not currently available. This is from march 2016. How long am I supposed to pay for a vehicle that has a potentially lethal defect and has not been addressed. The millions of other recalls appear to have solution and those owners are still waiting. This makes me believe that they have not even had the time to manufacture a solution for my make and model. How long is an acceptable time to play russian roulette every day I commute to work. I am not even able to drive my 10 week old son anywhere in this vehicle. What are our options? If I wait to file this until I have an accident there is a good chance I will be dead and unable to file it.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 saab 9-3. The contact stated that the engine valves failed prematurely. The service engine indicator illuminated and the vehicle performed roughly each time the failure occurred. In addition, the springs that connected to the front struts had premature rust and corrosion, which caused it to fracture without warning. An independent mechanic diagnosed that the front coils springs and eight valves needed to be replaced. The vehicle was also inspected by a dealer (conntech saab specialists, 180 jefferson blvd, warwick, ri 02888, (401) 738-3665). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN and failure mileage were not available. *tt *tr

Left front coil spring failure. Corresponds with existing saab tsb for 9-3's through 2006. My 2007 is identical vehicle and equipped with the same part as earlier vehicles, but current campaign does not cover this year? This makes no sense. Please expand to include all model years originally equipped with the faulty coil springs. I was lucky in that the failure on my vehicle did not tear the tire and I did not have an accident. *tr

Driver started hearing a clunking sound on the left front side. Upon getting brake work done mechanic discovered that the left front coil spring had broken. Driver contacted the Mazda/saab dealership of bedford, ohio and was told that the vehicle was covered in a warranty extension for the coil springs and scheduled the repair work. After taking the vehicle in for service the dealership recognized that they had made a mistake and the warranty extension was only for 2003-2006, and would not honor the repair. If the same problem is occurring in the 2007 models, the warranty extension should also apply to those vehicles. *tr

Intermittent check engine light. Comes on for a while and then goes off. Cannot link it to any vehicle activity.

Upon attempting to start the engine, sometimes it runs very rough and then stalls. Repeated attempts to start the engine result in stalls or, finally, result in the engine running very rough and then gradually smoother.

While attempting to install new headlights, I removed the negative on the battery. After putting the negative back on to the battery, the system has reset and has not rebooted since then. The car is in minimal driving condition, performance has significantly dropped and the steering wheel locks while driving at high speeds, the engine knocks and shakes at high speeds, there is no more turbo boost and while flooring the gas pedal, the car is hesitant to increase speed. *tr

After reading about the recent Toyota floormat recall I have decided to report a similar problem with my 2007 saab 9-3. My driver side floormat does not stay in place and has repeatedly gotten caught as I push the clutch in. The result is that the clutch will not let out with out me manually removing the floormat by hand. I can push the clutch in, but it won't let out. This would be a simple fix if they would create a better floor mat anchor, but the dealer said they can't do anything. *tr
