FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL GAUGE STOPPED REPORTING ACTUAL LEVEL OF FUEL IN THE TANK ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. GUAGE REMAINS POINTED AT 1/4 FULL TANK LEVEL AT ALL TIMES. FORCED TO KEEP TRACK OF FUEL LEVEL BY RESETTING THE MILAGE TRACKER AT EACH TANK FILL-UP. WHEN MILES REACH AROUND 250 ITS TIME TO FIND A GAS STATION TO FILL UP AGAIN. HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS 5-10 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. SEVERAL OF THE SUDDEN "OUT-OF-GAS" EVENTS WERE ALSO FALSE. VEHICLE HAD GAS, BUT ENGINE STALLED AS THOUGH IT HAD RUN OUT OF GAS. CAR WAS PULLED TO THE SIDE OF INTERSTATE AND COASTED TO NEARBY GAS STATION.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
"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 BECAME A NECESSITY TO BECOME AN EXPENSIVE OUT-OF- POCKET EXPENSE. FINALLY, THE STABILITY CHECK LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY COMES ON AND OFF MAKING IT NECESSARY TO STOP AND TURN OFF AND RESTART VEHICLE AS SUGGESTED BY DEALER MECHANIC ADVICE. ALLINFORMATION DESCRIBED IS VERIFIED WITH DOCUMENTS.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IT CUTS OFF WHILE IN THE DRIVE GEAR. THIS HAPPENED 4 TIMES, TWICE WHILE DRIVING ON THE BELTWAY ALL WITHIN A 3 WEEK PERIOD. I HAVE E TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND WAIT ABOUT 2 MINUTES THEN START IT UP AGAIN. I WAS SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR AFTER THE SECOND TIME STOPPING ON THE BELTWAY, SO I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE SHOP. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND STRESSFUL NOT KNOWING WHEN THE CAR WOULD STOP AT ANY GIVEN TIME. THE DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR AT A COST ON $690.00, FROM ME. I THINK THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND THAT I SHOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR THIS AMOUNT. IF THIS MODEL NEEDS TO BE RECALLED THEN IT SHOULD BE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED. I WILL BE WRITING THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU ALSO TO FILE A COMPLAINT. I GET MY MAINTENANCE ON THIS VEHICLE ON A REGULAR BASIS. I'M GLAD THAT I WAS NOT SERIOUSLY HURT WHEN THIS CAR STOPPED ON THE BELTWAY. MY CAR WAS REPAIRED ON JULY 16,2016, AT ANDERSON OF HUNT VALLEY, 10125 YORK ROAD, COCKEYSVILLE MD 21030. PHONE # 410-403-1300. THEY DID A GREAT JOB IN REPLACING THE COMPUTER, NOW I NEED TO BE COMPENSATED FOR MY $690.00. THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR TIME AND COOPERATION.SINCERELY [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
AT LEAST TWICE I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE HEADLAMPS AND RUNNING LIGHTS TO FAIL ON DARK UNLIT ROADS, A VERY DANGEROUS EVENT. THE FIRST EVENT OCCURRED IN THE WINTER OF 2014 THE SECOND IN THE WINTER OF 2015. GM RECALL IS 14291. NHTSA # 15V519000. I SPOKE WITH SAAB CUSTOMER SERVICE AND A SAAB CERTIFIED SERVICE CENTER. BOTH SAY MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL BECAUSE THEY HAVE DETERMINED THAT THE HEADLAMP FAILURE DOESN'T OCCUR ON VEHICLES WITH HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE HEADLAMPS WHICH MY VEHICLE HAS. YET I'VE EXPERIENCED THIS FRIGHTENING AND DEADLY FAILURE TWICE NOW. MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. IN THOSE FAILURE SITUATIONS THE CAR WAS IN MOTION IN DARKNESS ON A RURAL UNLIT ROAD, IT WAS WINTER AND VERY COLD (~0 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT)
