TAKATA RECALL I AM UNABLE TO FIND A SAAB DEALER IN ANCHORAGE ALASKA TO PERFORM THE RECALL WORK. THE SUGGESTED DEALER DOES NOT DO SERVICE WORK ON VEHICLES.
TAKATA RECALL I GOT A NOTICE OVER 6 MONTHS AGO THAT MY CAR IS UNSAFE AND TO NOT USE THE PASS FRONT SEAT. I HAVE A FAMILY OF 4 SO HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE. I WAS TOLD I WOULD GET ANOTHER NOTICE, WHEN MY PART WAS AVAILABLE AND SO FAR NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. THE AMOUNT OF TIME THIS IS TAKING IS UNACCEPTABLE. MY WIFE, MYSELF AND TWO SMALL CHILDREN ARE AT RISK!
TAKATA RECALL PARTS UNAVAILABLE: THIS IS TAKING WAY TOO LONG, WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO PUT PASSENGERS IN THE FROM PASSENGER SEAT FOR OVER A YEAR. GM NEEDS TO PRIORITIZE GETTING ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES REPAIRED. I KNOW THAT OTHER SAAB 9-2X VEHICLES HAVE BEEN REPAIRED, WHY NOT OURS? UNACCEPTABLE!
