2000 SAAB 9-3 CONVERTIBLE

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS

ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE FUEL PUMP RETAINING TABS HOLDING THE FUEL LINES WERE DAMAGED DURING PRODUCTION.

DRIVING ALONG, MAYBE 20-30 MPH AND DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYS FOR NO REASON (SIDE, NOT STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG). . NO CRASH, NO IMPACT, JUST DRIVING STRAIGHT AND, BOOM! MY LEFT EAR IS RINGING AND MY LEFT ARM IS PROBABLY BRUISED. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 SAAB 9-3 CONVERTIBLE. I WAS CLEANING THE VEHICLE AND HAD THE DRIVER DOOR OPEN. I SAW SMOKE COMING FROM THE AREA BETWEEN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND THE RIGHT DOOR. I OPENED THE RIGHT DOOR TO FIND THE LIGHT FIXTURE IN THE RIGHT QUARTER PANEL HAD FALLEN OUT AND WAS BURNING THE SEAT COVER BY THE AIR BAG. THE LAMP REFLECTOR IS METAL AND BURNED THE SEAT COVER. *TR

I'VE GOT A 2000 SAAB 9-3 AND I WAS HIT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THE SIDE IMPACT AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. INSTEAD MY HEAD GOT KNOCKED AGAINST THE SIDE WINDOW, DRIVING MY GLASSES INTO MY FOREHEAD. NOW I'VE GOT A SCAR ACROSS MY FOREHEAD THAT WILL REQUIRE PLASTIC SURGERY. DAMAGE TO THE DOOR WAS SEVERE ENOUGH TO WARRANT REPLACEMENT--YET THE AIRBAG DID NOT GO OFF. I BELIEVE EITHER THE SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE OR THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW.*AK
