• Recall 2016052 [Canada]: Airbag
  On certain vehicles, the driver frontal airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure during airbag deployment. Increased pressure may cause the inflator to rupture, which could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury. This could also damage the airbag module, which could prevent proper deployment. Failure of the airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant. Correction: dealers will replace the driver airbag inflator on saab 9-3 and 9-5 vehicles and replace the driver airbag module on saturn astra vehicles.

• Front suspension coil spring fracture investigation # EA08026

  To date, odi is aware of 142 non-duplicative complaints related to the alleged defect.In addition, odi is aware of 2,626 subject vehicles with one or more warranty claims related to the alleged defect.In total, odi is aware of 2,714 unique subject vehicles that have experienced one or more front suspension coil spring fractures.Odi is not aware of any crashes or injuries related to the alleged defect.The engineering design and testing data supplied by gm, along with the frequency of consumer complaints and warranty claims related to the alleged defect, tends to support the position that, in general, the coil springs that fractured on many subject vehicles did not achieve the expected service life.However, in regard to the subject vehicles, a front suspension coil spring fracture itself has little safety consequence, as evidenced by the minimal impact on vehicle ride and handling and by the number of drivers who were unaware of the failure condition for some time until alerted by service personnel.The ratio of tire punctures to coil spring fractures appears low and there are no reports of crashes, deaths or injuries related to the alleged defect. A safety-related defect has not been identified at this time and further use of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.Accordingly, this investigation is closed.The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that a safety-related defect does not exist.The agency will continue to monitor this issue and will take further action if warranted by the circumstances.See the ea08-026 engineering analysis closing report for more details.

• Front suspension coil spring fracture investigation # PE08051

  On august 28, 2008, the office of defects investigation (odi) opened a preliminary evaluation (pe08-051) to investigate alleged front suspension coil spring fractures in certain model year (my) 2003-2004 saab 9-3 vehicles sold or registered in salt belt states.(note: for purposes of this investigation, the salt belt includes connecticut, delaware, the district of columbia, illinois, indiana, iowa, maine, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, minnesota, missouri, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, west virginia and wisconsin).Subsequent analysis of data provided by general motors corp. (gm) has led the agency to expand the scope of this investigation to include all my 2003-2006 saab 9-3 vehicles sold or registered in salt belt states. To date, odi is aware of 53 non-duplicative complaints and/or field reports that allege coil spring fracture in the subject vehicles, including 23 alleging the fractured spring damaged a tire, with 16 of those involving a tire puncture.Analysis of warranty data provided by gm identified 1,218 claims paid to repair subject vehicles that experienced the alleged defect, of which 138 vehicles also suffered damage to the adjacent tire and of those, 79 vehicles experienced a tire puncture.Odi is not aware of any crashes or injuries related to the alleged defect. Gm made several design changes to the coil springs and/or mcpherson strut assemblies used in the subject vehicles in an apparent effort to address the alleged defect condition.However, gm maintains that the subject vehicles remain well controlled in the event of tire puncture, that the rate of tire puncture incidents related to coil spring fractures is low, and that the alleged defect does not pose an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety.Accordingly, this investigation has been upgraded to an engineering analysis (ea08-026) to further study the safety consequences of the alleged defect.

Ecu issues, loss power when driving.

Ecu issues, loss power when driving.

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

When i used my cruise control sometimes it engages and does not engage. It did this for over a month. When i first bought the car, i did my research on it and it said that it has a steering fluid loss problem, because the quality is poor. I am curious to why there has not been a recall on it yet.

Takata recall. The steering pump is leaking and i took my car to gm and they refused to work on my 2006 saab 9-3. The steering leaking is safety issue, and if i lose control of my steering..I can end up hurting myself. Please take this into consideration and make gm fix my steering pump!

Vehicle stalls while in drive there is internal fuel issue causing engine to misfire and potential damage

Hello, i have been renting this car out for awhile....I have been unable to rent it out because of the recall, however, i repaired this issue months ago and the dealer that repaired the problem has submitted proof to you twice but still no one has updated this to your website and this is severely effecting my car rental business. Please advise?

Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2006 saab 9-3. The contact received recall notifications for nhtsa campaign numbers: 14v318000 (seat belts) and 16v063000 (air bags); however, the parts to do the repairs were unavailable. The dealer (royal cadillac of tucson, 520-777-1708) was called and confirmed that the parts were not available for the recall remedies. The manufacturer was notified. The contact experienced a failure with the driver's seat belt seizing when being applied. She stated that the seat belt had to be maneuvered back and forth to get it secured comfortably. The failure mileage was not available. Parts distribution disconnect.

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?
