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.

There is a recall for certain 2008 97x models, recall number 15v519000. The headlights come on when driving, but then flicker and go out, causing a huge safety issue . This is happening to my car, but saab tells me my vin is not included. The recall should be extended to include all 2008 97x model.

The headlights will go off while driving. I was driving out of my gym parking lot at 10pm. On a icy night. They will not turn back on. However the highbeams, fog lights side markers work. Very dangerous and safety is definitely at risk not only for myself but for my children. There is a recall for this on the 2006 model. Someone may have received the wrong information or disregarded the numerous complaints of this model as well. This requires attention asap. *Tr
