Tl* the contact owned a 2007 saab 9-7x. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, there was a popping noise and the vehicle caught fire. A police report was not filed and no injuries were sustained. The vehicle was inspected by the dealer and deemed totaled. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 111,000.

Vehicle power windows, seats, seat heat stopped working. Windows have gone up/down uncontrolled when keys are not even in the vehicle which is very dangerous. Gm says that this condition is a fire hazard and do not park in a garage, but are dragging their collective feet in fixing this problem!!!! This vehicle is unsafe to put my family into, I just want it fixed now!!!!! *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 saab 9-7x. The contact stated that the driver side electrical control panel failed to function. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 12v406000 (electrical system, visibility) and stated that the part was not available within a reasonable time frame to schedule the recall repair for longer than a year. The dealer 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 failure mileage was not available. Parts distribution disconnect.

Driver side window/door panel started smoking. Burned a whole through the unit. Window and door controls do not work. The sideview mirror control rolled down the window and now the entire unit does not work. Electrical smell throughout the car. *tr

Upon entering my vehicle and starting it, I attempted to roll down the drivers side window and the window began to smoke and would not roll up or down. No trouble with it before hand. *tr

Takata recall I woke up to my vehicle on fire and it had been off for over 8 hours. It had been parked in my driveway all night. We heard a bang from inside then out neighbor banged on our door a minute later saying my vehicle was on fire. We called 911 and they had to come and put it out.

For the past two year I have been getting intermediate false fuel readings. The gauge would read empty or close to it. One time it stated I had more gas then I really did, causing me to run out of gas on the freeway. As time went on, the issue became more frequent. It is becoming a dangerous issue. *tr

Power door locks function intermittently. Sometimes they all lock/unlock, sometimes no doors lock/unlock, sometimes certain doors lock/unlock. Sometimes the windows operate very slowly as well. I have only used the locks when the vehicle is stationary, but I have noticed the window problem when both moving and stationary. This has been an issue for over a year, I can't pinpoint the exact time it first happened, but it is an ongoing issue.

Low beams flash on and off while driving. They do this on smooth and bumpy roads, and while sitting at stop lights. Sometimes only one goes out. Some times it is the right one, and sometimes the left, but so far it has only been one at a time for any length of time. Turning the lights on and off makes them both come on for a short period. Then on goes out again.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 saab 9-7x. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 12v406000 (electrical system, visibility) several months ago and stated that the part needed was not available within a reasonable timeframe to schedule the recall repair. The dealer did not give a specific date for when the part would become available. The contact stated that while traveling, the low beams failed to work. The dealer indicated that they would be able to repair the vehicle with a replacement part until the part for the recall repair was available. The contact was waiting for the appointment to remedy the failure and was unable to verify when the new part for the recall would be available. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

While traveling through residential area at speed slowing down to turn vehicle began to stall I heard a loud whining the vehicle began jerking, speeding up, slowly down. This problem has continued through various speeds. I am afraid for my family and public if this happens in a parking lot or interstates. *tr *js

The fuel gauge on my vehicle became faulty. The meter would work only till half tank and after that the guage would go straight down to e or empty. Fuel sensor recall

During turns at low speed, vehicle slips, making it very hard to steer. It feels like the vehicle is slipping on loose gravel. Additionally, there is a low "howl" noise in the rear of the vehicle. My mechanic diagnosed this as a defect in the slip differential and recommended replacing the fluid. I have completed that service twice and the condition has not improved or gone away. *tr

When turning vehicle jumps and bumps and makes a whining noise. Feels like car is riding on gravel and freezes and holds like all 4 wheels are grabbing and does not want to roll (crow hopping). Repairs are over $2,000.00. Dealership says it is the transfer case however after the rear end service was completed problem still remained. Problem was misdiagnosed and they said they had repaired the rear pinion bearing which I received a full refund for as this did nothing to solve the problem. *tr

Side air bags exploded when we were turning and ran over a curb at about ten MPH speed.

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 saab 9-7x. The vehicle experienced numerous recurring failures. The vehicle was been taken to an authorized dealer to have the following failures repaired: license plate trimming, fuel sending unit, water pump, stabilitrak sensor, steering sensor, brake lights, front struts, front mounts, front bearings, upper control arms, serpentine belt, cup holder, manufacturer emblem, and the throttle positioning sensor. He also mentioned that his passenger side door speaker does not work during rainy weather conditions. The transmission also jerks into second gear during cold weather. The failure mileage was 6,000. The current mileage was 41,000.

My complaint is regarding the faulty air suspension of a number if gm suvs. These include the trailblazer, envoy, and 9-7x (which I own). The air suspension leaks and fails to stay calibrated which results in the vehicle sagging to one side. This is extremely unsafe. While cornering or performing any emergency accident avoidance maneuvers the vehicle feels very dangerous. I can imagine that there have a number of accident that could have been prevented had these vehicle been made safer. Gm is aware of the problem and has issued service instructions to their technicians. However, I cannot understand why an investigation has not been launched into this issue. Thank you for your time. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 saab 9-7x. While driving approximately 30 MPH, the headlights burned out. The failure recurred on one occasion. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 135,000.

Less than 100 miles after the manufacturer warranty ended, after filling the gas tank, the gauge dropped to "empty" and the gas light came on. After driving for several miles the gauge started fluctuating between full and empty, and seemed to be accurate after a while. This continued for a few weeks, but eventually stopped fluctuating and now always shows empty, regardless of the amount of fuel in the tank. *tt
