• Recall 2014535 [Canada]: Lights and instruments
  On certain vehicles, the headlamp driver module (hdm) may not operate properly in high underhood temperatures. If the hdm is not operating correctly, the low-beam headlamps and daytime running lamps could fail to illuminate. Loss of daytime running lamps and low-beam headlamps could result in decreased driver's vision, as well as rendering the vehicle less visible to other motorists, which could result in a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: dealers will replace the headlamp driver module (hdm) with a new design hdm. Note: this condition does not affect the high-beam headlamps, marker lamps, turn signals, or fog lamps. Note: this recall is superseded by recall 2015365.

• Drivers master power window switch investigation # EA12004

  On august 15, 2012 general motors (gm) announced a regional recall action (12v-406) involving model year (my) 2006-2007 chevrolet trailblazer, gmc envoy, buick rainier, isuzu ascender and my2005-2007 saab 9-7x vehicles originally sold or currently registered in the salt belt states of connecticut, delaware, illinois, indiana, iowa, maine, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, minnesota, missouri, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, west virginia, wisconsin, and the district of columbia. The recall remedy requires the inspection and repair or replacement of the master power window switch, which gm refers to as a driver door module (ddm). At the same time, gm implemented a special coverage program to replace failed ddms for vehicles registered outside of these states. Odi was not satisfied with gms exclusion of non-salt belt vehicles and continued its investigation. On june 13, 2013, gm submitted a related recall notification (13v-248) to reclassify the initial special coverage program into a safety recall for vehicles that were not previously repaired under special coverage.The office of defects investigation (odi) opened engineering analysis ea12-004 on june 11, 2012 to further investigate allegations of ddm thermal incidents in model year (my) 2006-2007 chevrolet trailblazer vehicles. Thermal incidents involve cases where fire-related events such as smoke and melt are present. Odi has received 170 reports alleging a thermal event occurred. Complainants stated that the ddm melted and in some cases produced odor and/or smoke. Fourteen of these incidents led to a fire where visible flames were reported or the damage extended significantly beyond the ddm. In addition to the 170 reports listed above, odi received 63 reports alleging the ddm acted erratically or became inoperative. In response to odis information request (ir), gm provided 619 unique consumer complaints that related to the alleged problem. Seventy-seven of those reports led to a fire with flame, and 4 reported injuries of smoke inhalation and/or slight burns from contact with hot switches. Gm also submitted 20,400 warranty claims for replacement of the ddm, most of which involved inoperative switches. The problem condition is caused by fluids, such as rain water, entering the drivers door module and subsequently causing corrosion that could result in an electrical short in the printed circuit board. A short may cause the power door lock and power window switches to function intermittently or become inoperative. However, the electrical short may also cause overheating that could melt components of the door module, producing odor, smoke or in some cases fire with flame. The circuit board was redesigned and gm implemented the new design into vehicle production on may 14, 2007. All failures cited above occurred in vehicles produced before this build date (i.E., with the original design ddm). Gm also reported that all my 2006-2007 gmt360/370 platform vehicles and my 2005 saab 9-7x vehicles utilized the same ddm and therefore odi expanded the subject population to include these vehicles.This investigation is closed on the basis of gms announcement of safety recalls 12v-406 and 13v-248. The odi complaints cited above can be reviewed at: http://www-odi.Nhtsa.Dot.Gov/owners/searchnhtsaid, see the attached list for odi numbers.

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.

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

One headlight goes out while driving. It can be drivers side or passenger side as it is not specific to one side or the other. Both headlights went out at the same time during a night drive. By turning the lights off and back on, they will usually come back on. There seems to be no pattern other than they just turn off. Saab stated that there were no recalls for my vehicles lighting.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 saab 9-7x. The contact stated that the front driver's side window failed to open or close intermittently when the window switch was depressed. The contact stated that, recently, the front passenger side window was opened by depressing the switch, but failed to close. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. The contact researched the failure online at nhtsa.Gov and found that the vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 12v406000 (electrical system, visibility) for the same failure she experienced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 30,000. The vin was not available.

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

None of the drivers side front electric is working, air suspension died, no low beam

My fuel gauge read empty after i filled up my tank. After driving for a few miles my service engine soon light came on. It will spontaneously read full, then empty then partially full then near empty etc etc. In researching this topic this seems to be a well documented issue for gm and it appears in the luck of the draw now my vehicle joins the large number of vehicles with this issue. I don't see a recall for this in my research for my 2007 97-x. Is there a broader scope recall?? Some sites indicate a willingness of gm to pay half the cost?? Seems odd that if this is something that is common among gm vehicles why would gm not honor a repair of a known faulty design??
