Saab 9-7X Engine problems by year

"Takata recall" purchased from eastchester chrysler jeep dodgr dealership in bronx, ny 10486 , on feb. 28, 2015, Engine light illuminated on dashboard indicating a possible problem. I took it back approximately 7x to the dealer for repair and approximately 8 additional times at other mechanics. Unfortunately, light continues today. Both headlights were problem; drivers side beginning first dimming very low. Several weeks later, the passenger side headlight began to have problems as well. Eventually it...

I got a trouble code for cylinder #7 misfire. It is the lifters going out due to the afm or dod, whatever gm calls it. The system shutting down the 8 cylinder to 4 cylinders. $3000 Job for something that I'm sure gm is very aware of. These 5.3S with this afm will have this problem. It's just a matter of when.

In march 2014, while operating the vehicle, the warning bell sounded, and an engine light (with down arrow) illuminated. The driver information center displayed "stabilitrak off", and the car immediately slowed from 45mph to 15mph. The speed of the vehicle would not pass 25mph, and there wasn't even enough power to climb a small hill. After deploying the hazard indicator, and pulling over, the engine was shut off. Upon waiting 2-3 minutes and restarting the engine, the problem did not recur. Since then, the problem has recurred at least 3 dozen times, and it is becoming more frequent. This fault can easily have catastrophic results. *Tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 saab 9-7x. While driving at 35 mph, the check engine warning light, the oil indicator light, and the "stop driving vehicle, take the vehicle to a dealer" indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer. The technician diagnosed that the engine coil needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. In addition, the contact also noticed that the vehicle was burning a lot of engine oil and there was blue smoke coming from the exhaust pipe...

While operating my vehicle at approx. 70 Mph on an interstate, my passenger bumped the ignition key, located between the gear shifter and center console. My vehicle shut off while traveling down the hwy, and it happened other times, too. I've had the same problems with the driver side door module, which has completely stopped working. It has always had problems after getting only slightly wet. I've had problems with front passenger window, possibly caused by the same problem, and every door is likely affected....

Was driving down side street, reached for something in passenger seat, drew my hand back making very gentle contact with ignition key in center console and car shut off. I hardly touched the key. This second time in early june, though I hit it with my cup (ice tea from mcdonalds). Then this weekend it happened again. It is very easy to bump it with your arm and have it shut off. I called gmc and they informed me that they wouldn't fix it, even though to me it seems like the same issue as with their...

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 saab 9-7x. The contact stated that the vehicle was burning oil and the consumption of oil was excessive. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis. The manufacturer had an engineer inspect the vehicle, who determined that the motor mount would need to be replaced. After the repair the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 85,648.

My vehicle has a very strong gas odor inside and outside . You can walk by the rear of vehicle and smell gas. The gas odor is really strong when I put gas in suv. *Tr

Engine light with apparent cylinder misfires on cylinders 1, 4, 6 or 7 - believed to be possible afm lifter concern. Dealership wants to rip entire engine apart and claims 28-30 hours of labor at approximately $3500. This does not include parts (quoted $7500 total). They allege camshaft needs to be replaced. Gm willing to extend 15% discount but has essentially declined that vehicle has a mechanical and/or defective part. Lifter appears to be defective. Vehicle has 60k miles. *Tr

Burnt exhaust valve in cylinder 1 at only 75000 miles. Had to have the head removed and machined. Mechanic stated that the valve seat was faulty. Dealership would not assist in the repair. Approximate cost was $1800. *Tr

My fuel gauge reading has been going back and forth from empty to full. I have put a full tank of gas in it and it reads empty. This began a few weeks ago and has not stopped. It has caused my engine light to come on as well. I went to have it tested at a shop and they said it was the fuel sender. I have researched and found a number of complaints about this. I ask how will I be compensated for this inconvenience? *Tr
