I called elkins Chevrolet in marlton NJ as listed on my recall form. I called them two times. The first time they told me the part is not available. I then received a few more recall notices still listing them as the service center. I called again an was then told the only work of Chevrolet. Both turned out to be bold faced lies!

Takata recall - received a letter stating that I could go online for a $25 mastercard reward card after I completed repairs on the Saab. I completed the repairs. Tried to access the website but it was not a working website. Unable to apply for the reward card.

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 received a notice over one year ago (October 2015) that the driver airbag in my Saab 9-3 2007 had been recalled. As of today, January 18, 2017, there is still no remedy available. It is unacceptable that it is taking this long to be fixed and I have concerns that the manufacturer will not be held accountable.
