Problem with Air Bags

Jun 29, 2017 - Kapaa, HI - Air Bags
THERE ARE MULTIPLE ISSUES, AS FOLLOWS, BUT OUR CONCERN IS THAT OUR SON HAS TRIED REPEATEDLY TO GET SUPPORT BY CALLING THE NUMBERS ON THE POST CARDS. WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET ANY SERVICE AS A RESULT OF THE CALLS AND CONVERSATIONS. HE LIVES ON THE ISLAND OF KAUAI, WEST OF OAHU. #1: WE MUST SHIP THE CAR AT OUR EXPENSE IF WE EXPECT IT TO GET SERVICED. GM AND SAAB WILL NOT PAY FOR THAT SHIPPING OVER OR BACK. THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR, AND REGARDLESS OF THE RECALL MANDATE, THEY STILL SEND OUT BOGUS INFORMATION.(EXAMPLE: BAY AREA SAAB IS NO LONGER A SAAB DEALER IN SAN FRANCISCO + BUT IF THEY WERE OUR SON WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE TRANSPORTATION OVER AND BACK TO THE MAINLAND.) #2: I HAVE ALSO CALLED, AND FINALLY GOT GOOD ADVICE FROM THE GM 800 NUMBER REPRESENTATIVE ON THE PHONE WHO REFERRED ME TO A POINT OF CONTACT ON OAHU. THERE CURRENTLY IS NO SAAB DEALERSHIP IN HAWAII, BUT WE HAVE USED THE FORMER SAAB DEALERSHIP (A FORMER OWNER, HAS MAINTAINED THE PHONE NUMBER: 808-735-2488) FOR PARTS IN PAST YEARS. FORTUNATELY FOR SAAB OWNERS, THIS INDIVIDUAL HAS DONE ALL WITHIN HER POWER TO HELP OAHU OWNERS GET THE RECALL BUT IT HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE FOR HER AS WELL TO MAKE ALL THE NECESSARY ARRANGEMENTS. SHE IS A +POSTER ADULT+ FOR RESPONSIBILITY IN SMALL BUSINESS. SHE AND I HAVE EXCHANGED PHONE CALLS AND E-MAILS, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT SHE TOO IS TRYING TO GET GM/SAAB TO EITHER PAY FOR OFF-OAHU SAAB OWNERS TO SHIP THEIR CARS OVER AND BACK TO THE SERVICE PROVIDER HAS ARRANGED FOR ON OAHU, OR TO PAY TO HAVE QUALIFIED TECHS TRAVEL TO OUT ISLANDS TO SERVICE THE CARS. SO FAR + NO ACTION TBMK. AND SHE IS AWAITING MONTHS FOR PAYMENT FOR THE PARTS AND SERVICE PROVIDED TO OAHU OWNERS ALREADY. WE ARE REQUESTING A CONGRESSIONAL INQUIRY VIA CONGRESSWOMAN TULSI GABBARD AT THE SAME TIME AS THIS REQUEST TO INFORM NTHSB THAT FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE, THE RECALL IS FAILING.

TAKATA RECALL: WHY DOES THE AIRBAG RECALL NOT INCLUDE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG FOR MY CAR? THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG WAS REPLACED YESTERDAY IN MY CAR PURSUANT TO THE RECALL, BUT NOT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. DOESN'T THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG PRESENT A DANGER TO THE PASSENGER IF IT SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYS?

IN MARCH 2017 I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE. HAVE FOLLOWED UP SEVERAL TIMES (WITH BOTH SAAB AND GM) AND AM STILL TOLD THAT NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND STAYS IN FLORIDA AND IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT WARMER CLIMATES ARE THE HIGHEST RISK AREAS FOR INJURY BY DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS WHEN INFLATED. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH TIME TO HANDLE THE RECALL AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE POTENTIAL DANGER AND WOULD LIKE AN UPDATE FROM NHTSA. THANK YOU

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.

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.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED NOTICE THAT MY 2007 SAAB 93 IS SUBJECT TO THE TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL SEVERAL WEEKS AGO BUT WAS TOLD THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT IN THE MEANTIME. IS THE CAR NOT SAFE TO DRIVE? WOULD IT BE BETTER TO DE-ACTIVATE THE AIR BAG? I HAVE READ THAT HEAT AND MOISTURE CAN CAUSE THE PROBLEM. IS IT THE COMBINATION OF THE TWO? IS ONE MORE OF A FACTOR THAN THE OTHER? I ALSO OWN A HONDA CRV THAT IS SUBJECT TO THE RECALL AND HONDA NORTH AMERICA IS PROVIDING A RENTAL CAR UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE (IN JULY). SHOULDN'T GM DO THE SAME IF THERE IS REAL RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH ASSOCIATED WITH DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH THIS DEFECT?

2007 SAAB HAS ISSUE WITH DRIVER STEERING LOCK AND DRIVER AIR BAG FAILURE. WHEN I DRIVER ON HIGHWAY I GET NOTICE STEERING WHEEL LOCK. I HAVE NOT HAVE THE WHEEL LOCK YET WHILE I AM DRIVING ON HIGHWAY BUT I DID COMPLETE STOP SEVERAL TIME WHEN NOTICE ON DASH BOARD LIGHT UP WHERE THE STEERING LOCKS UP AFTER I STOP AND TURN OFF THE CAR. I BROUGHT IN THE CAR TO GM DEALER AND ERROR ON SYSTEM COMPUTER AND THEY SAID NO ISSUE. FOR A 2008 AUTOMOTIVE LESS THAN 100,000 MILES TO HAVE AIR BAG FAILURE IS VERY ODD. DEALERS WANT TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG WHICH COST ABOUT $1300. WHICH IS EXPENSIVE FOR 6 TO 7 YEAR OLD CAR TO HAVE TO FIX POSSIBLE GM MANUFACTURE DEFECTS AND THEIR OWN QUALITY CONTROL.

AIR BAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON. WAS TOLD BY SERVICE STATION THAT THEY HAVE SEEN MANY SAABS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO SEEN MANY POSTS ONLINE WITH SAME ISSUE. WAS EXPLAINED TO ME THAT IT IS ALWAYS A MODULE ISSUE. TO REPLACE NEW COULD COSTS THOUSANDS. THEY HAVE HAD ALL THEY HAVE REPLACED REBUILT AND MANY ISSUES HAVE BEEN SOLVED WITH THIS LESS EXPENSIVE FIX. I WAS ADVISED TO HOLD ONTO THE SERVICE ORDER BY THE GARAGE BECAUSE THEY HAVE DONE ALOT OF THESE AND THEY WILL NOT BE SURPRISED IF A RECALL OCCURS. SINCE SAAB HAS CLAIMED BANKRUPTCY DOES THAT MEAN NOTHING WILL BE RECALLED? I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS THAT WARRANTIES ARE NOT BEING HONORED. BUT AS THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WOULD THIS BE TREATED DIFFERENTLY?THIS CAR CANNOT PASS ANY SAFETY INSPECTION DUE TO THIS ISSUE.IT ONLY HAS 68,000 MILES AND HAS NEVER GIVEN ME ANY TROUBLE. IT JUST SEEMS THAT THIS LOOKS LIKE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.

MY WIFE AND I WERE INVOLVED IN A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT IN OUR 2007 SAAB 9-3 2.0 T CONVERTIBLE. WE WERE HEADING EASTBOUND ON SR610 IN STAFFORD, VA AND THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS HEADING WESTBOUND. THE OTHER DRIVER MADE AN ILLEGAL LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF US FAILING TO YIELD THE RIGHT OF WAY AND WE STRUCK HIS CAR IN THE RIDE SIDE (T-BONE). HIS CAR WAS TOTALED AND WE HAD SIGNIFICANT FRONT END DAMAGE AND OUR AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. BOTH MY WIFE AND I ARE STILL RECOVERING FROM OUR INJURIES AND UNDER CURRENT MEDICAL CARE. I CONTACTED MY SAAB DEALERSHIP AND THEY SUGGESTED I CONTACT GM/SAAB TO INVESTIGATE THE ACCIDENT TO DETERMINE IF THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. GM/SAAB SENT AN INSPECTOR AND I WAS TOLD I WOULD BE PROVIDED A REPORT REGARDING THEIR FINDINGS. THE INSPECTOR COMPLETED THE INVESTIGATION AND I WAS CONTACTED BY GM/SAAB. I WAS PROVIDED CONTRADICTORY INFORMATION BY THE GM/SAAB REPRESENTATIVE AND THEIR SUPERVISOR. WHEN I REQUESTED A COPY OF THE REPORTS AND PHOTOGRAPHS ON THREE OCCASIONS, I WAS DENIED. THEY STATED THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND IT RESPONDED IN THE ACCIDENT THE WAY AND MANNER IN WHICH IT WAS DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED. I STATED TO THEM IF THAT IS IN FACT TRUE, GM/SAAB SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM PROVIDING ME A COPY OF THE REPORTS, PHOTOGRAPHS, AND A LETTER ATTESTING TO THE FACT IF WAS SAFE DRIVE; HOWEVER, THEY REPEATEDLY DENIED MY REQUEST. IN THE NEXT WEEK, I WILL BE GETTING BACK MY DAMAGED, BUT REPAIRED SAAB AND HAVE NO IDEA IF IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE LET A LONE SELL IF I CHOOSE NOT TO KEEP IT. I AM VERY CONCERNED OVER GM/SAAB+S LACK OF COOPERATION AND FAILURE TO PROVIDE NECESSARY INFORMATION AS TO THE ROADWORTHINESS OF MY VEHICLE. THEIR FAILURE TO COOPERATE ON THIS ENDEAVOR LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THEY CARE COVERING SOMETHING UP AND ARE CONCERNED OF POTENTIAL LITIGATION. MY POSITION IS THAT I WANT TO ENSURE THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE AND IF NOT, WAS THERE A FAILURE ON GM/SAAB+S PART AND WHAT ARE THEY WILLING TO DO TO CORRECT THE MATTER AT HAND.
