• 10/06/2000· AIR BAGS

  AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR, A STRANGE ODOR COULD BE SMELLED IN THE CAR. I OPENED THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW TO DETERMINE IF THE ODOR WAS COMING FROM OUTSIDE OR INSIDE THE CAR. AS I REALIZED THE ODOR WAS COMING FROM INSIDE THE CAR, THE BOTTOM TWO OR THREE INCHES OF THE WINDSHIELD BEGAN TO FOG UP. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF THE MAIN STREET TO PARK THE CAR AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF. JUST AFTER I TURNED THE CORNER, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG EXPLODED. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED THE CAR, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR. WHEN THE AIR BAG EXPLODED IT RIPPED APART THE TOP OF THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD, IT SHATTERED THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD, AND IT FILLED THE CAR WITH FUMES (EVENTHOUGH THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW WAS STILL ALL THE WAY DOWN). THE EXPLOSION OCCURED AT APPROXIMATELY 7:30 P.M. ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2000. THE AIRBAG EXPLODED AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 3/4 OF A MILE. BECAUSE IT WAS FRIDAY EVENING, I HAD THE CAR TOWED HOME. CARTER SAAB WAS CONTACTED ON MONDAY AND THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP ON TUESDAY. THE CAR HAS VERY FEW MILES ON IT AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY DAMAGE TO THE CAR. ALL SERVICING TO THIS CAR HAS BEEN PERFORMED BY CARTER SAAB, AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP AND REPAIR SHOP. ALL MANUFACTURER'S SERVICE AND WARRANTY WORK WAS PERFORMED BY CARTER. ALL MANUFACTURER'S RECALL WORK WAS PERFORMED BY CARTER. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR THE SRS WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. BEFORE DRIVING THE CAR, I READ THE SECTION CONCERNING THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. THE MANUAL CONTAINS THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT THE DRIVER IS TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE NEAREST DEALER IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE THE AIR BAR MAY NOT ACTIVATE IN CASE OF A COLLISION.

• 09/29/2003· POWER TRAIN

  I OWN A 1995 SAAB 900 SE WITH A MANNUAL TRANSMISSION. I WOULD GUESS AS A SAFTEY FEATURE, THIS VEHICLE REQUIRES THE SHIFT LEVER TO BE IN THE REVERSE POSITION TO REMOVE THE KEY. THIS INSURES THAT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT MOVE WHEN NOT OCCUPIED IF THE PARKING BRAKE HAS NOT BEEN ENGAGED. ON MY VEHICLE THE SHIFT LEVER CAN BE IN THE REVERSE POSITION AND THE KEY REMOVED, BUT THE REVERSE GEAR IS NEVER ACTUALLY ENGAGED OR CAN BE EASILY MOVED OUT OF REVERSE. THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THIS PROBLEM WAS WHEN I FOUND MY VEHICLE HAD ROLLED FORWARD AND WAS RESTING AGAINST THE BUMPER OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF IT. THE SECOND TIME I NOTICED THIS PROBLEM WAS WHEN I CLOSED THE HOOD, HEARD A CLICK SOUND AND FOUND MY VEHICLE ROLLING FORWARD TOWARDS ME. THE VEHICLE CAME TO REST 30 FEET AWAY AT THE BOTTOM OF SMALL SLOPE ABOUT 5 FEET FROM THE NEIGHBORS HOUSE. IT HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE TIME SINCE THEN, BUT I AM UNSURE OF THE FREQUENCY BECAUSE I NOW ALMOST ALWAYS USE THE PARKING BRAKE.

• 08/11/2005· VEHICLE SPEED CONTROLCrash

  ON JULY 22, 2005 I WAS DRIVING MY '95 SAAB ON THE A1 MOTORWAY IN UNITED KINGDOM. I WAS USING THE CRUISE CONTROL AT 70 MPH (POSTED SPEED LIMIT) I HAD NEVER USED THE CRUISE CONTROL IN THIS VEHICLE BEFORE. (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) THE INCIDENT HAPPENED DURING RUSH HOUR HEADING TOWARD LONDON. AS I HAD TO SLOW DOWN, I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO BRAKES! I NEVER HAD ANY ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES PRIOR. DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL DID NOT DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL AND I WAS HEADING TOWARD THE REAR END OF A CAR AT 70 MPH. I QUICKLY SWERVED TO THE LEFT LANE, THEN OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID HITTING VEHICLES AND CAUSING A MULTI-CAR PILE UP AND POTENTIALLY MANY DEATHS. I FLEW OFF THE ROAD, THROUGH A 5" STEEL SIGN POST AND ROLLED SEVERAL TIMES IN A FIELD. AMAZINGLY, I WAS ONLY BRUISED AND BATTERED, BUT OF COURSE THE CAR IS TOTALED. THIS IS A POTENTIAL SERIOUS DEFECT! EVEN IF THE CAR IS 10 YEARS OLD, IF THERE IS SOME TYPE OF CORROSION THAT HAPPENS TO CAUSE A FAILURE OF BRAKES TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL, MANY LIVES WILL BE LOST. IRONICALLY, IT WAS SAAB ENGINEERING THAT ALLOWED ME TO WALK OUT OF THE VEHICLE, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME CAUSED THE ACCIDENT. POLICE AND WITNESSES WERE ON SCENE WHO SAW MY BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON, YET NOT SLOW DOWN. AS I SAID, THE BRAKES WERE FINE AND I CAN ONLY ASSUME THIS HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE CAR WILL BE INSPECTED BY UK'S VOSA. PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU CHARLES EARHART. *JB

  NHTSA ID#: 95V068000 RECALL ISSUED 3/20/95 FOR MANUFACTURING DATES AUG 1993 - SEP 1994 WAS DETERMINED NOT TO BE APPLICABLE FOR MY CAR, [XXX] BUT IT SHOULD HAVE APPLICABLE BECAUSE THE RESULT OF THE DEFECT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR. ADDITIONALLY, NHTSA ID#: 95VO68000 SHOULD HAVE BEEN APPLICABLE BECAUSE NHTSA ID#95V066000 ISSUED 3/20/94 FOR MANUFACTURING DATED JULY 1994 - DEC 1994 WAS APPLICABLE. A MISTAKE WAS MADE. NHTSA ID#: 95V068000 SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED MY CAR BECAUSE MY CAR ROLLED FROM ITS ORIGINAL PARKED POSITION AFTER MOVING THE GEAR INTO THE REVERSE POSITION AND REMOVING THE IGNITION KEY. MY CAR IS TOTALED. BUT IT WAS NOT MY FAULT. IT WAS PARKED ON A FLAT SERVICE IN MY GARAGE. THERE IS NO OTHER DAMAGE BUT I DO NOT WANT THIS TO BE CONSIDERED "MY FAULT" AND I WANT MY DEDUCTIBLE. THE CAR WAS IN GREAT SHAPE WITH NEW TIRES AND CLUTCH AND I WANTED TO DRIVE IT FOR A FEW MORE YEARS. WHY WASN'T MY CAR INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. AN NHTSA RESEARCH INVESTIGATOR IS GOING TO CONTACT ME WITHIN 48 HOURS. I JUST WANTED TO FILE THIS SAFETY COMPLAINT IF IT WILL HELP THE SAFETY SAFETY OF OTHERS.
