EXTERIOR LIGHTING
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 SAAB 9-7X. THE CONTACT STATED THAT RIGHT HEADLIGHT WAS BRIGHTER THAN THE LEFT ONE, WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ON, THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT WOULD POINT DOWNWARD, MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR OTHER DRIVERS TO SEE THE VEHICLE AND FOR THE CONTACT TO SEE ONCOMING VEHICLES. FURTHERMORE, WHEN THE HIGH BEAMS WERE ILLUMINATED, THE LIGHT WOULD MOVE TOO FAR UP IN THE AIR MAKING IT HARD FOR THE CONTACT TO SEE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO ATTEMPTED TO ADJUST THE LIGHT AND CHANGE THE LIGHT BULBS BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE DEALER ALSO REFERENCED OTHER MODELS FROM THE SAME YEAR BUT DID NOT FIND SIMILAR FAILURES. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 5,500.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE HAD MY USED VEHICLE FOR 20 MONTHS AND IT HAS LESS THAN 78,000 MILES. THE 2005 SAAB 9-7X STALLS WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIMES IT WILL RE-START AND RUN FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND THEN STALL OUT AGAIN. WHEN IT STALLS I HAVE TO QUICKLY TRY TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC AND PULL OVER. MOST OF THE TIME THE VEHICLE WILL NOT RE-START AND MUST BE TOWED. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST SEVEN TIMES. THE FIRST TIME THIS STARTED HAPPENING THERE WAS APPROXMATELY 60,000 MILES (MAYBE A LITTLE MORE) ON THE VEHICLE. HERE ARE A COUPLE INSTANCES OF WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED: ONE TIME I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AT A BUSY INTERSECTION AT NIGHT (APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES ON VEHICLE AT THIS TIME) AND ANOTHER TIME I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY (APPROXIMATELY 78,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE THIS TIME). THE FIRST TIME (JUNE 2009) I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR STALLING TO CONCOURS MOTORS ON SILVER SPRING DR IN MILWAUKEE WI. THEY HAD IT FOR 3 MONTHS AND FINALLY FIGURED OUT IT WAS THE FUSE BOX. THEY REPLACED THE FUSE BOX. THE VEHICLE RAN FINE FOR 6 MONTHS AND IT STARTED STALLING OUT AGAIN. THIS TIME (MARCH 2010) THE CAR DEALERSHIP THOUGHT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP AND REPLACED IT. THEY FOUND OUT IT WAS NOT THE FUEL PUMP WHEN IT WOULD NOT TURN ON FOR THEM AFTER REPLACING THIS PART. THEY STILL HAVE THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP AND DO NOT KNOW WHY IT CONTINUES TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE.

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD, STRUCTURE
MY FRONT WINDSHIELD HAS CRACKED DUE TO STRESS AND TEMPERATURE. THE AUTOMAKER IS TRYING TO CLAIM THAT THE BREAK IS DUE TO STONE IMPACT. THIS IS NOT TRUE. THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING IN A PARKING LOT FOR TWO WEEKS AND IT WAS VERY HOT. WHEN I WENT TO THE VEHICLE IT WAS CRACKED. ALSO WHEN A STONE IMPACTS THE WINDSHIELD IT WILL LEAVE A SPIDER FRACTURE AND THERE IS NOT SPIDER FRACTURE ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR
